Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
Lombardi, Vince

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

James, William

31.
Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.
Hoffer, Eric

32.

38.
Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.
Martin, Mary

39.
It's just as easy to form the habit of succeeding as it is to succumb to the habit of failure. Habits aren't instincts; they're acquired reactions. They don't just happen; they are caused. Once you determine the original cause of a habit, it is within your power either to accept or reject it.

Habit with its iron sinews, clasps us and leads us day by day.
