I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions.

Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.

I can have incredible self-discipline. But see, I think it's obviously a form of stupidity.

You can only punish your body so long before you're stuck with a horrendous inability to do things you'd previously been able to do.

In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'

For example, I tend to personally reward myself for specific acts of exceptional discipline.

I'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.

Stupid people do make me lose my temper and most people are stupid, fortunately for me. It's made it easier for me to make a living.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough in me to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.
