“The study of law is valuable as a mental discipline, but the practice of pleading tends to make one petty, formal, and insincere. To be driven to look to legality rather than to equity blurs the view of truth and justice.” LooksLawJusticeViewsPracticeStudyDisciplineValuableDrivenFormalEquityPettyBlurPleadingInsincereTruth And JusticeLegality Book:Aphorisms and Reflections: Conduct, Culture and Religion Source: Aphorisms and Reflections: Conduct, Culture and Religion
“Though it is folly to suppose that happiness is a matter of volition, and that we can make ourselves content and cheerful whenever we choose - a theory that many poor hypochondriacs are taunted with till they are nigh driven mad - yet, on the other hand, no sane mind is ever left without the power of self-discipline and self-control in a measure, which measure increases in proportion as it is exercised.” MindSelfMatterHandsLeftPoorTheoryDisciplineIncreaseMadDrivenProportionFollySaneSelf ControlSelf DisciplineCheerfulVolitionDiscipline And Self ControlHypochondriac Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

“A lot of people with high IQs are terrible investors because they've got terrible temperaments. And that is why we say that having a certain kind of temperament is more important than brains. You need to keep raw irrational emotion under control. You need patience and discipline and an ability to take losses and adversity without going crazy. You need an ability to not be driven crazy by extreme success” PeopleNeedsKindImportantCertainLossAbilityEmotionBrainCrazyDisciplineTerribleAdversityExtremesDrivenInvestorsIrrationalTemperamentGoing Crazy Author:Charlie Munger
“For me, a lot of Discipline was very personal writing, like writing through and working out being inside this gendered body and also the compulsions of the body, the muting of the mind as driven by the body. My father had died some years ago so he haunts the book too, just floats through it ghost-like. But, the writing of every book is different for me. They are so like living creatures, these books, so I don't know what's carried over into the writing of the next things - except maybe that I'm best when I make my writing practice a routine.” WritingMindBookDifferentFatherDisciplineWork OutDriven Author:Dawn Lundy Martin
