John C. Maxwell Discipline Quotations

Most people want to avoid pain, and discipline is usually painful.

Great leaders always have self-discipline -without exception.

Integrity is not a given factor in everyone's life. It is a result of self-discipline, inner trust, and a decision to be relentlessly honest in all situations in our lives.

Decision-making takes care of goal-setting, but discipline also takes care of goal-getting. Decisions and discipline can't be separated; one is worthless without the other.

I think passion and discipline are wonderful, complementary things.

Discipline - Success doesn't just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.

Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing.

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.

The bookends of success are starting and finishing. Decisions help us start; discipline helps us finish.

All great leaders have understood that their number one responsibility is cultivating their own discipline and personal growth. Those who cannot lead themselves cannot lead others.

While everyone exercises influence, the size and strength of our influence depends upon our effort. No one leads well without paying the price of discipline. As we push ourselves to grow and to learn, we enlarge our sphere of influence.
