As a leader, you constantly have to speak and remind your team of the principles of success, and quotes add credibility to your speeches. Using sayings that great leaders and sages of the past have used before, add the extra impact to the point you are trying to make. Self-discipline quotes are quotes about the need to consistently discipline ourselves to a higher standard in order to achieve long-term success. These quotes I have chosen are specifically meant for this purpose. Use these quotes to inspire and motivate!
The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline.
Bum Philips
The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him—and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.
J. Paul Getty
No man is fit to command another that cannot command himself.
William Penn
If the self-discipline of the free cannot match the iron discipline of the mailed fist-in economic, political, scientific and all other kinds of struggles as well as the military-then the peril to freedom will continue to rise.
John F. Kennedy

Most talk about ‘super-geniuses’ is nonsense. I have found that when ‘stars’ drop out, successors are usually at hand to fill their places, and the successors are merely men who have learned by application and self-discipline to get full production from an average, normal brain. Charles Schwab
It is time to reverse this prejudice against conscious effort and to see the powers we gain through practice and discipline as eminently inspiring and even miraculous.

Never believe a promise from a man or woman who has no discipline. They have broken a thousand promises to themselves, and they break their promise for you.
Matthew Kelly
Success is created through the performance of a few small daily disciplines that stack up over time to produce achievements far beyond anything you could of ever planned for. Failure, on the other hand, is just as easy to slip into. Failure’s is nothing more than the inevitable outcome of a few small acts of daily neglect performed consistently over time so that they take you past the point of no return.
Robin Sharma
I don’t count my sit-ups, I only start counting when it starts hurting, when I feel pain, that’s when I start counting, cause that’s when it really counts.
Muhammad Ali
Self-discipline begins with the mastery of thought. If you do not control your thoughts, you cannot control your needs. Self-discipline calls for a balancing of the emotions of your heart with the reasoning faculty of your head.
Napoleon Hill
A man without decision of character can never be said to belong to himself… He belongs to whatever can make captive of him.
John Foster
Everybody starts at the top, and then has the problem of staying there. Lasting accomplishment, however, is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self-discipline.
Helen Hayes
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.
Clint Eastwood
I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions … are going to win.
Tiger Woods
We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit.
Aristotle
Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
Abraham J. Heschel
Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It’s a state of mind-you could call it character in action.
Vince Lombardi
The first and best victory is to conquer self.
Plato
Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
Vince Lombardi
The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.
Vince Lombardi
You can never conquer the mountain. You can only conquer yourself.
Jim Whittaker
If I want to be great I have to win the victory over myself…self-discipline. Harry S. Truman
We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment. Jim Rohn
I could only achieve success in my life through self-discipline, and I applied it until my wish and my will became one. Nikola Tesla
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else.
Henry Ward Beecher
If we don’t discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us.
William Feather
Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.
Lao Tzu
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
Pierre de Coubertin
Rule your mind or it will rule you.
Horace
Success is a matter of understanding and religiously practicing specific, simple habits that always lead to success.
Robert J. Ringer
Can you imagine what the common denominator in Napoleon Hill's decades of studies of what leads to success?
If you guessed self discipline, you are right. Napoleon Hill finally concluded that self-discipline is really THE starting point of all great achievements.
In addition to this discovery, self-discipline has been mentioned repeatedly by those who have achieved great achievements and massive successes.
Unfortunately, it's a truth that too many people have ignored at the expense of their accomplishments.
We strongly believe that self-discipline offers opportunities. We believe that when you use discipline to develop your skills and pursue your ambitions in a disciplined manner, there is no doubt that exciting opportunities will open up for you.
Self-discipline undoubtedly leads to success.
But don't just take our word for it. Take a look at these top 100 self-discipline quotes from some of the most influential and successful people of all time.
May these quotes help you tattoo your mind, the real secret behind amazing achievements, so you can move on with yours.
