  1. Discipline is remembering what you want.

    ~David Campbell

    …ever say you want to be wealthy, start saving, and then spend all your savings when times get rough?

    …I like how David Campbell puts it, if you had remembered what you wanted, you would have left the savings alone…

  2. Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

    ~Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Insecurity of Freedom: Essays on Human Existence, 1967

    …saying no to oneself…

    …I think that is a cool way of talking about self discipline…

    …so you ask if you can spend your savings to pay your credit card bill and you tell yourself back, NO!

  3. Not being able to govern events, I govern myself, and apply myself to them, if they will not apply themselves to me.

    ~Michel de Montaigne, Essays, 1588

    …self control is the only control there is and ever was…

    …this is a great reminder =)

  4. The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours — it is an amazing journey — and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    ~Bob Moawad

    …I have to say that this was a wonderful day in my life, when I realized this…

    …it changed my life forever!

  5. Discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs tons.

    ~Author Unknown

    …it is true that self discipline, such as a weekly savings habit, does take energy, money and effort…

    …however, I think being broke is much much more effort don’t you agree?

  6. You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage — pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically — to say no to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger yes burning inside. The enemy of the best is often the good.

    ~Stephen Covey

    …yes, you can live a comfortable life and then depend on your children when you are old by spending away all of your money…

    …or you could save, and honor yourself, and the hard work and great person that you truly are…

    …and grow wealth instead!

  7. It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

    ~Buddha

    …it is us making our decisions in life…

    …we know which ones lead to positive outcomes and which do not…

    …it is the power of our mind and our choices…

  8. The cyclone derives its powers from a calm center. So does a person.

    ~Norman Vincent Peale

    …great metaphor for the ideal of self control…

    …strength of a cyclone and calm center…

  9. It’s all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.

    ~Mick Jagger

    …I love this one, you can sometimes spend some money from your savings…

    …as long as you can pay it back with interest…

    …it’s ok to enjoy your life, within reason and moderation…

    …thanks Mick Jagger!

  10. I am,
    indeed,
    a king,
    because I know how
    to rule myself.

    ~Pietro Aretino, 1537
    …let’s be the royalty that we truly are, by ruling ourselves wisely!
