“You must have the discipline and temperament to resist your impulses. Human beings have precisely the wrong instincts when it comes to the markets.

You don’t need to stretch for returns to grow your capital over the course of your life.” IfsNeedsHumansRememberCoursesGrowsHuman BeingsReturnDisciplineSellsInstinctImpulseUrgesHelpfulDeclineTemperamentRecognise Author:Irving Kahn

“Discipline is no longer literal obedience but intelligent obedience, for discipline aims at obedience coupled with activity of will. Once discipline weakens and vanishes, as it does towards the latter stages of the fire fight, and the crowd instinct possesses the soldier, then will he, if training has formed those necessary mental reflexes, surrender himself to the will of his leader; this is where leadership supplants discipline without destroying it.” IfsDoeFightingLeaderFireStageDisciplineActivityTrainingIntelligentAimInstinctSoldierCrowdsSurrenderObedienceLatterDestroyingLiteralReflexes Author:J.
