My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

If we don't discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us.

I think self-discipline is something, it's like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.

We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

There are no short cuts to any place worth going.

Your legacy is being written by yourself. Make the right decisions.

Self-command is the main discipline.

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

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.

Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.

Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.

The comfort zone is a great enemy to creativity.

True alchemy lies in this formula: ‘Your memory and your senses are but the nourishment of your creative impulse.'

Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos.

Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones.

The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

There’s no one way to be creative. Any old way will work.

The creative person is willing to live with ambiguity. He doesn’t need problems solved immediately and can afford to wait for the right ideas.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.
