“There is nothing like having to change your physical form to put you in contact with every weak part of yourself, to train yourself in discipline. Put somebody on a treadmill and I'll tell you how good they are at any other thing they do in life.” FormDisciplineWeakTrainContactTreadmills Author:Will Smith
“Daily contact with some teachers is itself all-sided ethical education for the child without a spoken precept. Here, too, the real advantage of male over female teachers,especially for boys, is seen in their superior physical strength,which often, if highly estimated, gives real dignity and commands real respect, and especially in the unquestionably greater uniformity of their moods and their discipline.” IfsGivingChildrenRealBoysGreaterTeacherDisciplineAdvantageFemaleDignityMalesMoodSuperiorsCommandContactEthicalUniformityPhysical Strength Author:G.

“IN THE BEGINNING I undertook my walking not only to contact people, I undertook it as a prayer discipline to keep me concentrated on my prayer for peace... After the first few years the prayer discipline was completely unnecessary, because I had learned to pray without ceasing. I made the contact so thoroughly that into my prayer consciousness I put any condition or person in the world I am concerned about and the rest takes place automatically.” PeopleWorldYearsFirstsPersonsMadePrayerConsciousnessConditionsPrayingDisciplineWalkingConcernedContactUnnecessary Author:Peace Pilgrim
“When I started out on my pilgrimage, I was using walking for two purposes at that time. One was to contact people, and I still use it for that purpose today. But the other was as a prayer discipline. To keep me concentrated on my prayer for peace. And after a few years I discovered something. I discovered that I no longer needed the prayer discipline. I pray without ceasing now. My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument through which only truth can speak.” PeopleYearsStillsTwoUseTodayPurposeSpeakPrayerPrayingNeededDisciplineWalkingInstrumentsContactI PrayPilgrimage Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
“I think the sport of wrestling, which I became involved with at the age of 14... I competed until I was 34, kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write.” ThinkingWritingKindAgeGivenSportsDisciplineInvolvedAgingContactBirthdayWrestling50th BirthdayContact Sports Author:John Irving
