Best Quotes about Habit
Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it.
Mann, Horace
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
Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.
Hoffer, Eric
Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.
Martin, Mary
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
Habit is a form of exercise
Hubbard, Elbert
Habits change into character.
Ovid
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
Man is occasionally what he should be perpetually.
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.
Good habits are as easy to form as bad ones.
Mccarver, Tim
A man who gives his children habits of industry provides for them better than by giving them a fortune.
Whately, Richard
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
Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.
Emmons, Nathaniel
There is an invisible garment woven around us from our earliest years; it is made of the way we eat, the way we walk, the way we greet people...
Giraudoux, Jean
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
Incredibly, many people continue their old life-style, their habits even if they feel miserable, lonely, bored, inadequate, or abused. Why? Of course... because habit is an easy place to hide.
Rusk, Tom
There is no pleasure in life equal to that of the conquest of a vicious habit.
The regularity of a habit is generally in proportion to its absurdity.
Proust, Marcel
The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change.
Eng's Principle
Practice in time becomes second nature.
Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.
Marden, Orison Swett
Successful people are simply those with success habits.
Tracy, Brian
Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you.
Hubbard, Elbert
How use doth breed a habit in man!
Shakespeare, William
To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.
Maltz, Maxwell
Ill habits gather unseen degrees, as brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.
Dryden, John
Habit is the second nature which destroys the first.
Pascal, Blaise
To stop smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know; I've done it a thousand times.
Twain, Mark
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.
Achieve success in any area of life by identifying the optimum strategies and repeating them until they become habits.
Givens, Charles J.
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
Lombardi, Vince
Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor.
James, William
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
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.
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.
Dryden, 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
The habit of looking on the best side of every event is worth more than a thousand pounds a years.
Johnson, Samuel
Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.
Twain, Mark
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
Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.
Augustine, St.
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.
Habit is a shackle for the free.
Bierce, Ambrose
To exist is a habit I do not despair of acquiring.
Cioran, E. M.
The greatest people will be those who possess the best capacities, cultivated with the best habits.
Harris, James
Practice conquers the habit of doing, without reflecting on the rule.
Locke, John
A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit.
Erasmus, Desiderius
Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
Carnegie, Dale
