“Self-discipline is the key to personal greatness. It is the magic quality that opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible. With self-discipline, the average person can rise as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can take him. But without self-discipline, a person with every blessing of background, education and opportunity will seldom rise above mediocrity.”

— Brian Tracy —

“Man is man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature, and this nature is both internal and external.”

— Swami Vivekanand —
