Best Quotes about Habit
The regularity of a habit is generally in proportion to its absurdity.
Proust, Marcel
Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.
Sockman, Ralph W.
The unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.
Emmons, Nathaniel
To exist is a habit I do not despair of acquiring.
Cioran, E. M.
Habits are to the soul what the veins and arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves.
Bushnell, Horace
The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change.
Eng's Principle
Habit is the second nature which destroys the first.
Pascal, Blaise
In every age of well-marked transition, there is the pattern of habitual dumb practice and emotion which is passing and there is oncoming a new complex of habit.
Whitehead, Alfred North
To stop smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know; I've done it a thousand times.
Twain, Mark
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
Maltz, Maxwell
Habit is a great deadener.
Beckett, Samuel
One might call habit a moral friction: something that prevents the mind from gliding over things but connects it with them and makes it hard for it to free itself from them.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.
Franklin, Benjamin
Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.
Pascal, Blaise
Habits are formed by the repetition of particular acts. They are strengthened by an increase in the number of repeated acts. Habits are also weakened or broken, and contrary habits are formed by the repetition of contrary acts.
Adler, Mortimer J.
The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.
Getty, J. Paul
Each year one vicious habit discarded, in time might make the worst of us good.
Franklin, Benjamin
Practice in time becomes second nature.
The habit of looking on the best side of every event is worth more than a thousand pounds a years.
Johnson, Samuel
A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit.
Erasmus, Desiderius
It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Trivial things do matter... more people are killed each year by the bite of mosquitoes than are stepped upon by charging elephants.
Habits are the daughters of action, but then they nurse their mother, and produce daughters after her image, but far more beautiful and prosperous.
Taylor, Jeremy
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.
Dryden, John
Habit is a form of exercise
Hubbard, Elbert
Achieve success in any area of life by identifying the optimum strategies and repeating them until they become habits.
Givens, Charles J.
The more deeply the path is etched, the more it is used, and the more it is used, the more deeply it is etched.
Coudert, Jo
Practice conquers the habit of doing, without reflecting on the rule.
Locke, John
Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.
Edwards, Tryon
Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.
Augustine, St.
Ill habits gather unseen degrees, as brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.
Dryden, John
The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably thought and act.
Marden, Orison Swett
Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.
Martin, Mary
First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits, or they'll eventually conquer you.
Gilbert, Dr. Rob
How use doth breed a habit in man!
Shakespeare, William
You were not born with the habit of brushing your teeth. With persistent action, over a period of time, you developed the habit. Now, I'll bet you would never consider going a week without brushing.
Scheele, Paul R.
Never permit failure to become a habit.
Book, William Frederick
Habit is a shackle for the free.
Bierce, Ambrose
Successful people are simply those with success habits.
Tracy, Brian
Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it.
Mann, Horace
A man who gives his children habits of industry provides for them better than by giving them a fortune.
Whately, Richard
We must make automatic and habitual, as early as possible, as many useful actions as we can...in the acquisition of a new habit, we must take car to launch ourselves with as strong and decided initiative as possible. Never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life.
James, William
There is no pleasure in life equal to that of the conquest of a vicious habit.
Break a bad habit -- drop it
Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.
Marden, Orison Swett
There is an old saying that, you can't kill a frog by dropping him into hot water. As you drop him into the hot water, he reacts so quickly that he immediately jumps out unharmed. But if you put him in cold water and gradually warm it up until it is scalding hot, you have him cooked before he knows it. The encroachment of bad habits in our lives is very much like this.
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
Lombardi, Vince
Certes, they been lye to hounds, for an hound when he cometh by the roses, or by other bushes, though he may nat pisse, yet wole he heve up his leg and make a countenance to pisse.
Chaucer, Geoffrey
