I'm constantly thinking about trying to piece together collaborators ... All disciplines can be narrow ... ~ Judith Weir

American Christianity is a story of perpetual upheavals in churches and individual lives. Starting with the extraordinary conversion experience, our lives are motivated by a constant expectation for the Next Big Thing. We're growing bored with the ordinary means of God's grace, attending church week in and week out. Doctrines and disciplines that have shaped faithful Christian witness in the past are often marginalized or substituted with newer fashions or methods. The new and improved may dazzle us for a moment, but soon they have become "so last year". Michael Horton, Ordinary, 16 ~ Michael S. Horton

Your philosophy determines whether you will go for the disciplines or continue the errors. ~ Jim Rohn

My prime interests are in evolution and development. I use the cellular slime molds as a tool to seek an understanding of those twin disciplines. ~ John Tyler Bonner

At MIT, I had the good fortune for seven years to teach network theory, which is basic to many disciplines, to one-third of the undergraduate student body. It was an experiment to see how high we could bring their level of understanding, and it exceeded all of my expectations. ~ Amar Bose
![Disciplines quotes by Amar Bose Disciplines quotes by Amar Bose](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-387865.jpg)
The Bible is teh means through which we are introduced to Jesus and invited to follow Him in the life of humility and service. Secured by the knowledge that in Christ, our origin ... and destination is God, we will yield the fruit of service to God. This is the "so what" of our Bible reading. Does it shape our spirits in love and humility? Does it lead us more fully into life with God? (Life with God, p. 34-35) ~ Richard Foster
![Disciplines quotes by Richard Foster Disciplines quotes by Richard Foster](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-552705.jpg)
Too often in the west we fail to realize that even in eastern disciplines the spiritual life is not meant as an escape from the worldly life. There is karma to be fulfilled on earth, within the dharma of necessity. ~ James Hillman
![Disciplines quotes by James Hillman Disciplines quotes by James Hillman](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-593335.jpg)
God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers. ~ Richard Holloway
![Disciplines quotes by Richard Holloway Disciplines quotes by Richard Holloway](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-682435.jpg)
The American university inherits the missions of two very different institutions: the English college and the German research university. The first pattern prevailed before the Civil War. Curricula centered on the classics, and the purpose of education was understood to be the formation of character. With the emergence of a modern industrial society in the last decades of the nineteenth century, that kind of pedagogy was felt to be increasingly obsolete. Johns Hopkins was founded in 1876 as the first American university on the German model: a factory of knowledge that would focus in particular on the natural and social sciences, the disciplines essential to the new economy and the world to which it was giving rise. ~ William Deresiewicz
![Disciplines quotes by William Deresiewicz Disciplines quotes by William Deresiewicz](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-689915.jpg)
Fasting turns each moment of craving into a prayer of intense dependence. ~ Gary Rohrmayer

Work hard to foster high levels of trust across the organization by stifling political battles, encouraging high-status people to admit and learn from mistakes, and not blaming or punishing those who come forward for help after good-effort failures. Create opportunities and spaces for people across disciplines and functions to interact informally and frequently. And use meetings or training sessions to teach people throughout the organization how to seek, find, give, and receive help effectively. ~ Anonymous
![Disciplines quotes by Anonymous Disciplines quotes by Anonymous](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-790905.jpg)
Mothers do, every day. It's funny, Bo, how a woman can bring two children into the world, raise them up the same way - the same rules and values, indulgences and disciplines. And still two separate people come out of it all. ~ Nora Roberts
![Disciplines quotes by Nora Roberts Disciplines quotes by Nora Roberts](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-792015.jpg)
It's been an obsession of various genres, disciplines, and aspects and elements of movie-making. It's always been something that I've really aspired to, so doing something new and different, reinventing myself and working with new people is just the passport to the amazing world that is the movies. ~ David Gordon Green
![Disciplines quotes by David Gordon Green Disciplines quotes by David Gordon Green](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-839455.jpg)
The attempt to isolate economics from other disciplines-notably politics, history, philosophy, finance, constitutional theory and sociology-has fatally disabled its power to explain what is happening in the world. ~ Will Hutton
![Disciplines quotes by Will Hutton Disciplines quotes by Will Hutton](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-903355.jpg)
In every bio-region, one of the most urgent tasks is to rebuild the community of naturalists - so radically depleted in recent years, as young people have spent less time in nature, and higher education has placed less value on such disciplines as zoology ... ... The times are right for the return of the amateur, twenty-first-century, citizen naturalist. To be a citizen naturalist is to take personal action, to both protect and participate in nature. ~ Richard Louv
![Disciplines quotes by Richard Louv Disciplines quotes by Richard Louv](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-930525.jpg)
As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment. ~ Valentino Rossi

Remember that an artist's life is an intense search for truth. This search takes many forms. Everyone of these forms demands its own disciplines. I learned and adapted to my search. I expect nothing from you. Question the truth of anything you confront. How does it apply to yourself and the trail you are pursuing? ~ Brice Marden
![Disciplines quotes by Brice Marden Disciplines quotes by Brice Marden](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-960105.jpg)
Spirituality is about being ready. All the spiritual disciplines of your life - prayer, study, meditation or ritual, religious vows - are there so you can break through to the eternal. Spirituality is about awakening the eyes, the ears, the heart so you can see what's always happening right in front of you. ~ Richard Rohr
![Disciplines quotes by Richard Rohr Disciplines quotes by Richard Rohr](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-960415.jpg)
Man, to Lewis, is an immortal subject; pains are his moral remedies, salutary disciplines, willing sacrifices, playing their part in a drama of interchange between God and him. ~ Jocelyn Gibb
![Disciplines quotes by Jocelyn Gibb Disciplines quotes by Jocelyn Gibb](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1048045.jpg)
Modern scientific culture has evolved from its roots in the ancient world and has become a complex web of many highly specialized disciplines. Gone are the days when one man, such as the seventeeth-century Robert Hooke, could be a groundbreaking inventor, microscopist, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist and even artist. Today the sheer enormity of available information has led to highly defined specialisms, and academics are expected to keep to their field - despite the truism that science has no experts. [...]
The gains from modern science are beyond counting. But the loss, arguably, is the synthesis of information generated by the many gentleman scholars that once existed, before becoming extinct somewhere around hte late nineteenth century. So few scholars now have a chance to view the bigger picture - to seek out patterns that might unexpectedly exist when apparently unrelated data is brought together. It has to be remembered that the difference between a major breakthrough and nothing at all can be just the angle of view rather than anything else. ~ Christopher Knight
![Disciplines quotes by Christopher Knight Disciplines quotes by Christopher Knight](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1058035.jpg)
But I am beginning to understand about the dignity and the art of wigs and the makeup. This small, everyday attentiveness of eyebrow pencils is perhaps a picture of the very sort of bodily care our embodied God would have us cultivate, weather in illness or wellness, whether our bodies are in the throes of ecstasy or the throes of pain. ~ Lauren F. Winner
![Disciplines quotes by Lauren F. Winner Disciplines quotes by Lauren F. Winner](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1058055.jpg)
Learning the art of programming, like most other disciplines, consists of first learning the rules and then learning when to break them. ~ Joshua Bloch

In the afternoon the digestion of the meal deprives me of the incomparable lightness which characterizes the fast days. ~ Adalbert De Vogue

A true poet is one who can appreciate the disciplines and structures of any and all styles of poetry. ~ David J. Delaney

I was very good in math and physics. In the Soviet time, we had a lot of Olympic-style competitions for different disciplines: I was always winning in my region. ~ Oleg Deripaska
![Disciplines quotes by Oleg Deripaska Disciplines quotes by Oleg Deripaska](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1212325.jpg)
Clean code is not written by following a set of rules. You don't become a software craftsman by learning a list of heuristics. Professionalism and craftsmanship come from values that drive disciplines. ~ Robert C. Martin
![Disciplines quotes by Robert C. Martin Disciplines quotes by Robert C. Martin](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1265975.jpg)
Modern physics has changed nothing in the great classical disciplines of, for instance, mechanics, optics, and heat. Only the conception of hitherto unexplored regions, formed prematurely from a knowledge of only certain parts of the world, has undergone a decisive transformation. This conception, however, is always decisive for the future course of research. ~ Werner Heisenberg
![Disciplines quotes by Werner Heisenberg Disciplines quotes by Werner Heisenberg](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1420385.jpg)
Spiritual Disciplines involve doing what we can do to receive from God the power to do what we cannot. ~ Richard J. Foster
![Disciplines quotes by Richard J. Foster Disciplines quotes by Richard J. Foster](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1441625.jpg)
Research from these new disciplines has revealed that trauma produces actual physiological changes, including a recalibration of the brain's alarm system, an increase in stress hormone activity, and alterations in the system that filters relevant information from irrelevant. We now know that trauma compromises the brain area that communicates the physical, embodied feeling of being alive. These changes explain why traumatized individuals become hypervigilant to threat at the expense of spontaneously engaging in their day-to-day lives. They also help us understand why traumatized people so often keep repeating the same problems and have such trouble learning from experience. We now know that their behaviors are not the result of moral failings or signs of lack of willpower or bad character - they are caused by actual changes in the brain. This ~ Bessel A. Van Der Kolk
![Disciplines quotes by Bessel A. Van Der Kolk Disciplines quotes by Bessel A. Van Der Kolk](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1516595.jpg)
We kissed, then, and the ardour of her kiss stole my breath away. I returned her passion with all the fervor I possessed. A lifetime of vows and heart-felt disciplines had prepared me well, for in that kiss I sealed with all my soul the fate before me, embracing a mystery clothed in warm and yielding female flesh. Holding only the moment, with neither thought nor care for the future, I kissed her, and drank deep the strong wine of desire. ~ Stephen R. Lawhead
![Disciplines quotes by Stephen R. Lawhead Disciplines quotes by Stephen R. Lawhead](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1562515.jpg)
The term Greek philosophy, to begin with is a misnomer, for there is no such philosophy in existence. The ancient Egyptians had developed a very complex religious system, called the Mysteries, which was also the first system of salvation. As such, it regarded the human body as a prison house of the soul, which could be liberated from its bodily impediments, through the disciplines of the Arts and Sciences, and advanced from the level of a mortal to that of a God. ~ George G. M. James
![Disciplines quotes by George G. M. James Disciplines quotes by George G. M. James](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1570625.jpg)
It is essential to practice spiritual disciplines along with academic studies. ~ Sai Baba

Scout out competitors' websites. Everything your competitors think is important or relevant usually exists on their website. ~ John Manning
![Disciplines quotes by John Manning Disciplines quotes by John Manning](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-3674.jpg)
for instance, the theories and practices of art and photography with anthropological theory and practice (e.g. Edwards 1997a; da Silva and Pink 2004; Grimshaw and Ravetz 2004; Schneider and Wright 2005). The interdisciplinary focus in visual methods has also been represented in Theo van Leeuwen and Carey Jewitt's Handbook of Social Research (2000) and Chris Pole's Seeing is Believing (2004) both of which combine case studies in visual research from across disciplines. The idea that visual research as a field of interdisciplinary practice is also central to Advances in Visual Methodology (Pink 2012a) and is demonstrated by the work of the volume's contributors, as well as by the recent SAGE Handbook of Visual Research Methods (Margolis and Pauwels 2011). Likewise the interdisciplinary journal Visual Studies (formerly Visual Sociology) provides an excellent series of examples of visual research, practice, theory and methodology. ~ Sarah Pink
![Disciplines quotes by Sarah Pink Disciplines quotes by Sarah Pink](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-75044.jpg)
Any artist, in any field, wants to press deeper, to discover further. Image and sound play are among the strongest colors available to poetry's palette. For a long time, I've wanted to invite in more strangeness, more freedom of imagination. Yet music, seeing, and meaning are also cohering disciplines. They can be stretched, and that is part of poetry's helium pleasure. But not to the point of breaking. ~ Jane Hirshfield
![Disciplines quotes by Jane Hirshfield Disciplines quotes by Jane Hirshfield](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-189524.jpg)
Praying the Lord's Prayer forces us to look for things to thank and praise God for in our dark times, and it presses us to repent and seek forgiveness during times of prosperity and success. It disciplines ~ Timothy Keller
![Disciplines quotes by Timothy Keller Disciplines quotes by Timothy Keller](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-219304.jpg)
Silence frees us from the need to control others. One reason we can hardly bear to remain silent is that it makes us feel so helpless. We are accustomed to relying upon words to manage and control others. A frantic stream of words flows from us in an attempt to straighten others out. We want so desperately for them to agree with us, to see things our way. We evaluate people, judge people, condemn people. We devour people with our words. Silence is one of the deepest Disciplines of the Spirit simply because it puts the stopper on that.
When we become quiet enough to let go of people, we learn compassion for them. ~ Richard J. Foster
![Disciplines quotes by Richard J. Foster Disciplines quotes by Richard J. Foster](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-236674.jpg)
...we have chosen to speak of spirituality ultimately as the way in which we live out our response to God. Unless we find this personal, transformational meaning in its fullest sense, the struggle for wholeness will remain unresolved. As Augustine put it in the first paragraph of his Confessions, 'God created us for a relationship with him and our hearts are restless until we find our rest in God. ~ Janet O. Hagberg
![Disciplines quotes by Janet O. Hagberg Disciplines quotes by Janet O. Hagberg](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-347214.jpg)
People were suddenly subject to the curse, which caused them to perform for identity instead of operating out of their identity. This has led to all sorts of perversions - people working for love instead of from love, for instance, and men and women measuring their relationship with God by their disciplines instead of by their passion. ~ Kris Vallotton
![Disciplines quotes by Kris Vallotton Disciplines quotes by Kris Vallotton](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-474044.jpg)
College football is no more of a minor league than, say, the universities' schools of journalism, engineering or music are. We can argue at another time whether football should occupy the same space on campus as those disciplines, but for now, it does. The critical point is that a coach is less concerned with preparing athletes for the next level than he is with molding them to fit a system that helps him win games, keep his job and, eventually, move on to a position with a more prestigious program. ~ William C. Rhoden
![Disciplines quotes by William C. Rhoden Disciplines quotes by William C. Rhoden](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-496714.jpg)
With acknowledgement of residues, we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science, the overlapping of disciplines, and the total coherence of all facts. ~ Kenneth L. Pike
![Disciplines quotes by Kenneth L. Pike Disciplines quotes by Kenneth L. Pike](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-597124.jpg)
I want to identify what a genuine man does - the virtues, the habits, the disciplines, the duties, the actions of true manhood - and then call men to do it. ~ Stephen Mansfield
![Disciplines quotes by Stephen Mansfield Disciplines quotes by Stephen Mansfield](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-637564.jpg)
Knowledge has the form of a tree, and since metaphysics is the most fundamental one of the theoretical disciplines, it represents the roots of the tree. ~ Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
![Disciplines quotes by Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra Disciplines quotes by Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-692254.jpg)
As a philosopher, you define constraints for any good theory explaining what you are interested in, then you go out and search for help in other disciplines. ~ Thomas Metzinger

What are any of the disciplines but a way in which people trying to make sense of the world or the universe? ~ Joan Countryman
![Disciplines quotes by Joan Countryman Disciplines quotes by Joan Countryman](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-721874.jpg)
Being "ordinary" means that we reject the idolatry of pursuing excellence for selfish reasons. We aren't digging wells in Africa to prove our worth or value. We aren't serving in the soup kitchen or engaging in spiritual disciplines because we long to be unique, radical, and different. When we do these things for selfish reasons, God becomes a tool for winning our lifetime achievement award. Our neighbors become instruments in the crafting of our sense of meaning, impact, and identity. What we do for God is really for ourselves. ~ Michael S. Horton
![Disciplines quotes by Michael S. Horton Disciplines quotes by Michael S. Horton](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-729964.jpg)
On feeling guilty about lack of 'productivity':
"In a time of infirmity, the illness IS one's work. Taking care of all the disciplines that our health problems require IS the other part of the small daily fidelity to which we are called, beside the faithfulness of being attentive to God. We can be well simply by our diligence in being who we are at the moment."
Marva Dawn, Being Well When We're Ill pg 137 ~ Marva J. Dawn
![Disciplines quotes by Marva J. Dawn Disciplines quotes by Marva J. Dawn](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-733424.jpg)
On top of whatever else I'm doing, I'm usually teaching some form of composition. The benefit of this is I get to read across disciplines. Often enough that work spills over to my creative reading/thinking, and I reach a point of saturation where I can't distinguish between texts and writers and everything starts to blur and smudge together. ~ Gregory Pardlo
![Disciplines quotes by Gregory Pardlo Disciplines quotes by Gregory Pardlo](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-750864.jpg)
The second cause whence these rebellions sometimes proceed is the devil, who, in order to disquiet and disturb the soul, at times when it is at prayer or is striving to pray, contrives to stir up these motions of impurity in its nature; and if the soul gives heed to any of these, they cause it great harm. For through fear of these not only do persons become lax in prayer - which is the aim of the devil when he begins to strive with them - but some give up prayer altogether, because they think that these things attack them more during that exercise than apart from it, which is true, since the devil attacks them then more than at other times, so that they may give up spiritual exercises. ~ San Juan De La Cruz
![Disciplines quotes by San Juan De La Cruz Disciplines quotes by San Juan De La Cruz](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-815704.jpg)
It's time to make a decision: I will learn what disciplines are necessary to fuel my prayer life, and I will practice these disciplines regularly, without fail. ~ Bill Hybels
![Disciplines quotes by Bill Hybels Disciplines quotes by Bill Hybels](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-848184.jpg)
Seduced by the spectacular theoretical and practical successes of the objective sciences into thinking that the methods and criteria of those sciences were the only means to truth, philosophers sought to apply those same methods and criteria to questions relating to the meaning of life and the values that give meaning to life. Philosophy, especially the Analytical species prevalent in the English-speaking world, was broken up into specialized disciplines and fragmented into particular problems, all swayed and impregnated by scientism, reductionism, and relativism. All questions of meaning and value were consigned to the rubbish heap of 'metaphysical nonsense'. ~ D.R. Khashaba
![Disciplines quotes by D.R. Khashaba Disciplines quotes by D.R. Khashaba](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-992204.jpg)
Page holds Musk up as a model he wishes others would emulate - a figure that should be replicated during a time in which the businessmen and politicians have fixated on short-term, inconsequential goals. "I don't think we're doing a good job as a society deciding what things are really important to do," Page said. "I think like we're just not educating people in this kind of general way. You should have a pretty broad engineering and scientific background. You should have some leadership training and a bit of MBA training or knowledge of how to run things, organize stuff, and raise money. I don't think most people are doing that, and it's a big problem. Engineers are usually trained in a very fixed area. When you're able to think about all of these disciplines together, you kind of think differently and can dream of much crazier things and how they might work. I think that's really an important thing for the world. That's how we make progress. ~ Ashlee Vance
![Disciplines quotes by Ashlee Vance Disciplines quotes by Ashlee Vance](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1008924.jpg)
Think outside the square. Think for yourself don't just follow the herd. Think multidisciplinary! Problems by definition, cross many academic disciplines. ~ Lucas Remmerswaal

Training moments occur when both parents and children do their jobs. The parent's job is to make the rule. The child's job is to break the rule. The parent then corrects and disciplines. The child breaks the rule again, and the parent manages the consequences and empathy that then turn the rule into reality and internal structure for the child. ~ Henry Cloud
![Disciplines quotes by Henry Cloud Disciplines quotes by Henry Cloud](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1025634.jpg)
Of course, I don't know everything. Considering the infinite amount of knowledge that one could acquire in a virtually innumerable array of intellectual disciplines, it's probably more accurate to say that I don't know anything. ~ Dean Koontz
![Disciplines quotes by Dean Koontz Disciplines quotes by Dean Koontz](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1051974.jpg)
At heart, I'm really interested in this marriage of theater, film and television and I think what happened in the UK and obviously is happening here is that there's a convergence of talent kind of moving between the different disciplines and I find that very exciting. ~ Colin Callender
![Disciplines quotes by Colin Callender Disciplines quotes by Colin Callender](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1098464.jpg)
The leap of faith always means loving without expecting to be loved in return, giving without wanting to receive, inviting without hoping to be invited, holding without asking to be held. And every time I make a little leap, I catch a glimpse of the One who runs out to me and invites me into his joy, the joy in which I can find not only myself, but also my brothers and sisters. Thus the disciplines of trust and gratitude reveal the God who searches for me, burning with desire to take away all my resentments and complaints and to let me sit at his side at the heavenly banquet. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
![Disciplines quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen Disciplines quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1208584.jpg)

The secret to extraordinary faith is fully engaging our MINDS, as well as our hearts, because DYNAMIC FAITH REQUIRES A HEALTHY BALANCE OF BOTH. ~ Patty Houser

A physicist that I know commented that many other scientific disciplines, such as geology, anthropology, astronomy, are also challenged by biblical fundamentalism, but their people seem to be able to get on with their work without worrying unduly. Only Darwinians seem thrown into a frenzy that sends them running to litigation and demanding censorship. His explanation was that it's a rival religion. ~ James P. Hogan

Cleaning is considered a vital part of the training process in all traditional Japanese disciplines and is a required practice for any novice. It is accorded spiritual significance. Purifying an unclean place is believed to purify the mind. ~ Mineko Iwasaki

When Numa died, Rome by the twin disciplines of peace and war was as eminent for self-mastery as for military power. ~ Livy
![Disciplines quotes by Livy Disciplines quotes by Livy](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1520514.jpg)
Not everyone can have the same devotion. One exactly suits this person, another that. Different exercises, likewise, are suitable for different times, some for feast days and some again for weekdays. In time of temptation we need certain devotions. For days of rest and peace we need others. Some are suitable when we are sad, others when we are joyful in the Lord. ~ Thomas A Kempis
![Disciplines quotes by Thomas A Kempis Disciplines quotes by Thomas A Kempis](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1578504.jpg)
Some people find the experience and practice of compassion as a spiritual discipline to be a more direct route to the transformation of the heart than prayer. It is not that prayer does not or should not play a role in their lives, but their way to the opening of the heart lies through deeds of compassion. "Just do it" summarizes this path of transformation. ~ Marcus Borg

One of the most important disciplines in journalism is to challenge your working premises. ~ Bill Keller

But we can do nothing for the human future that we will not do for the human present. For the amelioration of the future condition of our kind we must look, not to the wealth or the genius of the coming generations, but to the quality of the disciplines and attitudes that we are preparing now for their use. ~ Wendell Berry
![Disciplines quotes by Wendell Berry Disciplines quotes by Wendell Berry](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1595514.jpg)
I am a lover of truth; and if you think of truth as being multifaceted and so huge that we human beings can't fully comprehend it, then obviously it makes sense to put all the facts together - to compare disciplines and try to advance the sum of knowledge by exploration and examination. ~ Susan Howatch

Convincing - and confident - disciplines, say, physics, tend to use little statistical backup, while political science and economics, which have never produced anything of note, are full of elaborate statistics and statistical "evidence" (and you know that once you remove the smoke, the evidence is not evidence). ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Austerity means to eliminate the comforts and cushions in your life that you have learned to snuggle into and lose wakefulness. Take away anything that dulls your edge. No newspapers or magazines. No TV. No candy, cookies, or sweets. No sex. No cuddling. No reading of anything at all while you eat or sit on the toilet. Reduce working time to a necessary minimum. No movies. No conversation that isn't about truth, love, or the divine.
If you take on these disciplines for a few weeks, as well as any other disciplines that may particularly cut through your unique habits of dullness, then your life will be stripped of routine distraction. All that will be left is the edge you have been avoiding by means of your daily routine. You will have to face the basic discomfort and dissatisfaction that is the hidden texture of your life. You will be alive with the challenge of living your truth, rather than hiding form it.
Unadorned suffering is the bedmate of masculine growth. Only by staying intimate with your personal suffering can you feel through it to its source. By putting all your attention into work, TV, sex, and reading, your suffering remains unpenetrated, and the source remains hidden. Your life becomes structured e ~ David Deida

forms of printing and recording. The study of language and communication by anthropologists developed out of the European tradition of linguistics, which usually is associated with disciplines ~ Michael Rynkiewich

My father learned his disinterest under the guise of masculinity. Boys don't cry. There are whole disciplines, institutions, rubrics in our culture which serve as categories of denial.
Science is such a category. The torture and death that Heinrich Himmler found disturbing to witness became acceptable to him when it fell under this rubric. He liked to watch the scientific experiments in the concentration camps ~ Susan Griffin

Christians often equate holiness with activism and spiritual disciplines. And while it's true that activism is often the outgrowth of holiness and spiritual disciplines are necessary for the cultivation of holiness, the pattern of piety in the Scripture is more explicitly about our character. We put off sin and put on righteousness. We put to death the deeds of the flesh and put on Christ. To use the older language, we pursue mortification of the old man and the vivification of the new. ~ Kevin DeYoung

Somaaesthetics can be provisionally defined a the critical meliorative study of one's experience and use of one's body as a locus of sensory-aesthetic appreciation (aesthesis) and creative self-fashioning. It is therefore also devoted to the knowledge, discourses, and disciplines that structure such somatic care or can improve it. ~ Richard Shusterman

Yes, it will go through the disciplines that all puppies go through including house training and puppy walking, then at twelve month old it the training becomes a lot more rigorous which has to be done carefully otherwise you are in danger of stressing the dog. ~ David Blunkett

Thanks to meetings and discussions with experts in the natural sciences, with physicists and biologists as well as with historians, I have learned to appreciate the importance of those other branches of knowledge which involve the scientific disciplines; these are likewise capable of attaining the truth from different perspectives. The splendor of the truth–Veritatis Splendor–constantly needs to accompany them, enabling people to meet, to exchange ideas, and to enrich one another. ~ Pope John Paul II

All discourses and disciplines proceed from commitments and beliefs that are ultimately religious in nature. No scientific discourse (whether natural science or social science) simply discloses to us the facts of reality to which theology must submit; rather, every discourse is, in some sense, religious. The playing field has been leveled. Theology is most persistently postmodern when it rejects a lingering correlational false humility and instead speaks unapologetically from the the primacy of Christian revelation and the church's confessional language. ~ James K.A. Smith

Mathematics is not a separate entity. It owes a great deal of its power and its beauty to other disciplines. ~ Mark Kac

Service-learning is a particularly fertile way of involving young people in community service, because it ties helping others to what they are learning in the classroom. It enables them to apply academic disciplines to practical, everyday problems. In the process, it provides a compelling answer to the adolescent's perennial question, 'Why do I need to learn this stuff? ~ Colin Powell
![Disciplines quotes by Colin Powell Disciplines quotes by Colin Powell](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-839319.jpg)
Many scientific disciplines begin by not observing any sort of vital spark or consciousness in material events and proceed to deny that these things exist in living things, including themselves. Because consciousness does not fit into their mechanistic schemes they declare it illusory. Magicians make exactly the reverse argument. Observing consciousness in themselves and animals, they are magnanimous enough to extend it to all things to some degree - trees, amulets, planetary bodies, and all. This is a far more respectful and generous attitude than that of religions, most of whom won't even give animals a soul. ~ Peter J. Carroll

I have been involved with science and math education my whole life. My hope is to continue to promote the love of these beautiful disciplines to the next generation. ~ Tohoru Masamune

When this reality, the one and only power that checks and disciplines man from within, vanishes because belief in it is slackening, the social domain falls prey to passions. The ensuing vacuum is filled by the gas of emotion. Everyone proclaims what best suits his interests, his whims, his intellectual manias. To escape the void and the perplexities of his own soul, a man will rush to join any party standard that is being carried through the streets. With society gone there remain only parties. ~ Jose Ortega Y Gasset

What polluters do is raise the standards of living for themselves, while lowering the quality of living for everybody else, and they do that by escaping the disciplines of the free market. ~ Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Through the ages, countless spiritual disciplines have urged us to look within ourselves and seek the truth. Part of that truth resides in a small, dark room
one we are afraid to enter ~ Matthew J. Pallamary

In order for us to truly create and contribute to the world, we have to be able to connect countless dots, to cross-pollinate ideas from a wealth of disciplines, to combine and recombine these pieces and build new castles. ~ Maria Popova

Many dotcoms recruited people from existing companies who were quite experienced in finance, marketing, distribution and other disciplines but not necessarily experienced in the Web culture. ~ John Patrick

Among all of the mathematical disciplines the theory of differential equations is the most important ... It furnishes the explanation of all those elementary manifestations of nature which involve time. ~ Sophus Lie

It's three interdependent, interconnected, and fluidly contingent disciplines: Perception, Action, and the Will. ~ Ryan Holiday

Self-respect is a discipline, a habit of mind that can never be faked but can be developed, trained, coaxed forth. It was once suggested to me that, as an antidote to crying, I put my head in a paper bag. As it happens, there is a sound physiological reason, something to do with oxygen, for doing exactly that, but the psychological effect alone is incalculable: it is difficult in the extreme to continue fancying oneself Cathy in Wuthering Heights with one's head in a Food Fair bag. There is a similar case for all the small disciplines, unimportant in themselves; imagine maintaining any kind of swoon, commiserative or carnal, in a cold shower. ~ Joan Didion
![Disciplines quotes by Joan Didion Disciplines quotes by Joan Didion](https://palmquotes.com/topic/disciplines-quotes-1458279.jpg)
As we mature in faith, our willingness is tested, expanded, and refined. We become more conscious of our limitations and turn to God. The necessity of God's grace becomes clearer as we become more attuned and accurate in our recognition of our dependence on God and less sure of anything that causes us to describe ourselves self-righteously. At times, when confronted by the less-than-ideal behavior of others, we may recognize that we are capable of similar actions and give thankds to God for helping us avoid unwelcome pitfalls. Scripture instructs us to be holy as God is holy, yet we increasingly realize the impossibility of holy behavior unless it is brought about by the Spirit's empowerment and our willing responsiveness and cooperation. Many people use spiritual direction as a window through which to notice and attend to their own expectations of willingness and willfulness. ~ Jeannette A. Bakke

It's a difficult thing to describe theology, what it means and how it disciplines thinking. Certainly, theology is the level at which the highest inquiry into meaning and ethics and beauty coincides with the largest-scale imagination of the nature of reality itself. ~ Marilynne Robinson

In all other construction disciplines, engineers plan a construction strategy that craftmen execute. Engineers don't build bridges; ironworkers do. Only in software is the engineer tasked with actually building the product. Only in software is the "ironworker" tasked with determining how the product will be constructed. ~ Alan Cooper

Spurred on by both the science and science fiction of our time, my generation of researchers and engineers grew up to ask what if? and what's next? We went on to pursue new disciplines like computer vision, artificial intelligence, real-time speech translation, machine learning, and quantum computing. ~ Elizabeth Bear

In 1956, when I began doing theoretical physics, the study of elementary particles was like a patchwork quilt. Electrodynamics, weak interactions, and strong interactions were clearly separate disciplines, separately taught and separately studied. There was no coherent theory that described them all. ~ Sheldon Lee Glashow

The organized churches must become schools of spiritual discipline where Christians are taught how to own without treasuring (Matt. 6:21); how to possess without, like the "rich young ruler," being possessed (Mark 10:22); how to live simply, even frugally, though controlling great wealth and power. ~ Dallas Willard

I learn more from creative people in other disciplines than I do even from other architects because I think they have a way of looking at the world that is really important, ~ Tom Kundig

However, if we conceive of a culture as one body, which it is, we see that all of its disciplines are everybody's business, and that the proper university product is therefore not the whittled-down, isolated mentality of expertise, but a mind competent in all its concerns. ~ Wendell Berry

I have been presented with roles with demand not just a physical ability but mental disciplines as well. 'Memoirs of a Geisha' was not so much about physical exertion ... it was much more graceful and contained than that. ~ Michelle Yeoh
