I think when we talk about corporal punishment, and we have to think about our own children, and we are rather reluctant, it seems to me, to have other people administering punishment to our own children, because we are reluctant, it puts a special obligation on us to maintain order and to send children out from our homes who accept the idea of discipline. So I would not be for corporal punishment in the school, but I would be for very strong discipline at home so we don't place an unfair burden on our teachers.

John F. Kennedy

Discipline isn't a dirty word. Far from it. Discipline is the one thing that separates us from chaos and anarchy. Discipline implies timing. It's the precursor to good behavior, and it never comes from bad behavior. People who associate discipline with punishment are wrong: with discipline, punishment is unnecessary.

Buck Brannaman

I never met a person as determined as my mother. From working hard for six kids to just trying to keep the household down or maintain my father's discipline, my dad, I'm so much like my father too. My father was so introverted, quiet, shy, nice. I got attributes from my father and mother.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Everyone has a point of view about corporal punishment.

Essie Davis

Let's reintroduce corporal punishment in the schools - and use it on the teachers.

P. J. O'Rourke

We need to understand the difference between discipline and punishment. Punishment is what you do to someone; discipline is what you do for someone.

Zig Ziglar

If only corporal punishment cured low self-esteem.

Jeph Jacques

I learned a lot from being in hell. I learned discipline. I learned that I choose what to put in my body.

Bernard Hopkins

Fear of corporal punishment obscures children's awareness of the compassion underlying the parent's demands.

Marshall B. Rosenberg

In my family, my earliest memory of you get out of line is - BAM! It was a lot of corporal punishment. But you can't do that.

John Rzeznik

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.

Martha Washington

I doubt whether classical education ever has been or can be successfully carried out without corporal punishment.

George Orwell

I think corporal punishment is the shortest, most impatient, flawed way of teaching or making a child understand something.

Ranvir Shorey

It is not only the prisoners who grow coarse and hardened from corporal punishment, but those as well who perpetrate the act or are present to witness it.

Anton Chekhov

Is it all right for the government to allow the murder of an innocent human being? From the moment of conception, a new life comes into being with a complete genetic blueprint. The sex is determined. The blood type is determined. The moment that I learned the unborn was not part of the woman's body but its own individual human being, I have no choice but to defend the most vulnerable among us.
