DISCIPLINE

For a servant, mere words are not enough—discipline is needed.

For the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.

Proverbs 29:19

To discipline and reprimand a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.

Proverbs 29:15

If you love your children, you will be prompt to discipline them.

Proverbs 13:24

Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.

William Penn

The undisciplined man is a headache to himself and a heartache to others and is unprepared to face the stern realities of life.

Discipline, once considered “standard household equipment,” has fallen on hard times, and in its place permissiveness reigns.

Discipline: shorten his reign.

Draw your salary before spending it.

George Ade

He who lives without discipline is exposed to grievous ruin.

Thomas À Kempis

A lot of us can recall when a wayward child was straightened up by being bent over.

The cure for crime is not in the electric chair but in the high chair.

Storms make oaks take deeper root.

George Santayana

One reason for juvenile delinquency: parents don’t burn their kids’ britches behind them.

Discipline yourself so others won’t need to.
