“More men are beaten than fail. It is not wisdom they need or money, or brilliance, or "pull," but just plain gristle and bone. This rude, simple, primitive power which we call "stick-to-it-iveness" is the uncrowned king of the world of endeavour. People are utterly wrong in their slant upon things. They see the successes that men have made and somehow they appear to be easy. But that is a world away from the facts. It is failure that is easy. Success is always hard. A man can fail in ease; he can succeed only by paying out all that he has and is.”
― Henry Ford, My Life and Work

“Discipline is the impossible conquered by the obstinate repetition of the possible.”

“Once you bid farewell to discipline you say goodbye to success”
― Alex Ferguson, Leading: Lessons in leadership from the legendary Manchester United manager

“The more you discipline yourself to persist on a major task, the more you like and respect yourself, and the higher is your self-esteem.”
