“Discipline doesn’t cost you. It pays, over and over again. Discipline makes what you already have, more valuable. And with discipline you can create much more new value.

Long after the immediate inconvenience and discomfort are gone, you’ll be enjoying the rewards of choosing to discipline yourself.”

- Ralph Marston
