Every grown-up man consists wholly of habits,
although he is often unaware of it and
even denies having any habits at all. ----Georges Gurdijieff
The unfortunate thing about this world is that good habits are so much easier to give up than bad ones. ----Somerset Maugham
Habit is thus the enormous flywheel 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. ----William James
Habit is a second nature, which prevents us from knowing the first,
of which it has neither the cruelties nor the enchantments. ----Marcel Proust
Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man,
but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. ----Mark Twain
A habit is something you can do without thinking--
which is why most of us have so many of them. ---Frank A. Clark
Habits are safer than rules;
you don't have to watch them. And
you don't have to keep them,
either. They keep you. ----Frank Crane
Habit is a man's sole comfort.
We dislike doing without even unpleasant things to which we have become accustomed. ---Goethe
The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but
the habits he has acquired during the first half. ---Feodor Dostoevski
