Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak and esteem to all.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to the Captains of the Virginia Regiments
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. Discipline is guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child.
BETTE DAVIS, quoted in Great Quotes to Inspire Teachers
No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.
Man must be disciplined, for he is by nature raw and wild.
That discipline which corrects the eagerness of worldly passions, which fortifies the heart with virtuous principles, which enlightens the mind with useful knowledge, and furnishes to it matter of enjoyment from within itself, is of more consequence to real felicity than all the provisions which we can make of the goods of fortune.
Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.
Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, general orders, Jul. 6, 1777
Discipline strengthens the mind so that it becomes impervious to the corroding influence of fear.
