In Roman mythology, Disciplina was a minor deity and the personification of discipline.[1] The word disciplina itself, a Latin noun, is multi-faceted in meaning; it refers to education and training, self-control and determination, knowledge in a field of study, and an orderly way of life. The goddess embodied these qualities for her worshippers. She was commonly worshipped by imperial Roman soldiers, particularly those who lived along the borders of the Roman Empire;[2] altars to her have been found in Great Britain and North Africa. The fort of Cilurnum along Hadrian's Wall was dedicated to the goddess Disciplina, as witnessed by an extant dedicatory inscription on a stone altar found in 1978.[3] Her chief virtues were frugalitas, severitas and fidelis—frugality, sternness, and faithfulness. In worshiping Disciplina, a soldier became frugal in every way: with money, with energy and actions. The virtue of severitas was shown in his focused, determined, not easily dissuaded, and decisive behavior. He was faithful to his unit, his army, the ofilosoficers and the Roman people.

Svoboda jest ovšem ten největší dar boží, kterého člověk si přáti může, ona jest podmínkou nejen blahobytu, ale i samé ctnosti a důstojnosti lidské; neboť smýšlí-li a jedná-li kdo dobře ne ze svobodné vůle, ale z donucení, pak nesmýšlí ani nejedná dobře. Avšak i svoboda sama, vedouc častěji k různění nežli ke spojování, žádá jistou míru pro sebe, nemá-li ploditi nejednotu a nesvornost, kterážto ne bez příčiny sluje hříšným jejím dítětem.
Slované všichni bývali od jakživa svobody více milovni, nežli jiní národové; ba toužili po ní a hověli si v ní až přes míru, podrobujíce se autoritě i sebe potřebnější vždy jen neradi a jako by z donucení. Sám kořen slova našeho „svoboda“ svědčí, že ji předkové naši pokládali hlavně v tom, aby každý byl především sám „svůj“, sám o sobě a pro sebe. Ale může-li člověk vůbec býti cele sám o sobě? může-li obejíti se na dlouho bez jiných lidí? Ovšem, kdyby jako jiná zvířata rodil se a uměl hned po narození pomáhati sobě a starati se o sebe sám, tak aby od jiných chován a vychováván býti nemusel: mohl by také oblíbiti sobě a vésti život pouze zvířecí. Ale pak by nebylo u něho ani řeči o vzdělanosti a pokroku, aniž o působení chvalném neb slavném jakémkoli. Jen ze spolupůsobení a ze vzájemné pomoci rodí se každá nauka, každý zdar obecný, každý pokrok humanity. A může-li kde jaký spolek utvořiti a udržeti se bez řízení a návodu jedněch ke druhým, či bez podřízení se jedněch pod druhé, t.j. bez autority? Sám rozum a samo svědomí učí nás všímati sobě a následovati jak příkladu, tak i návodu těch, kteří ve věcech obecných nabyli širší zkušenosti a rozhledu prostrannějšího.
