DISCIPLINE

“A person who is trained to consider his actions, to undertake them deliberately, is in so far forth disciplined. Add to this ability a power to endure in an intelligently chosen course in the face of distraction, confusion, and difficulty, and you have the essence of discipline”

John Dewey

Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education,

“New York: The Free Press”, 1916
