Discipline must be without control, without suppression, without any form of fear... It is not discipline first and then freedom; freedom is at the very beginning, not at the end.

About This Quote

Freedom is an absolute necessity to the development of discipline. Discipline is necessary to the development of freedom, but freedom is not at all necessary to the development of discipline. Discipline can develop without freedom, but freedom cannot develop without discipline. Freedom and discipline are two different things.

A man may have both, yet if he does not have them in their proper order, they are of little use to him. They must come before the other, one must have the other no matter how much he loves it without having it. And that which has no love for discipline cannot love freedom any more than a man who has no love for freedom can be free.
