"The first and the best victory is to conquer self." Plato

Sometimes people ask that cliche question "if you could have dinner with anyone famous alive or dead who would you pick?" in the past I often fumbled on the answer but recently I would say its a toss up between Plato or Confucius. Both in my opinion remarkable observers of human nature and our place within this Universe.

As of late my newest theme has been practicing even more self-discipline. So as per usual I found and went crazy with quotes , enjoy!

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ~Confucius

If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. ~Napoleon Hill

The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others. ~Tyron Edwards

You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can. ~ Jimmy Carter

Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. ~ Ghandi

It's not the work that's hard, it's the discipline. ~Anonymous
