“Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason.”
“The notion of freedom proclaimed by the modern world is anti-discipline. But true freedom cannot be separated from discipline.”
“Through discipline comes freedom.”
“Self-discipline is a form of freedom. Freedom from laziness and lethargy, freedom from expectations and demands of others, freedom from weakness and fear -- and doubt.”
“True freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.”
