Habit is necessary; it is the habit of having habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive.

Never permit failure to become a habit.

If you want to cultivate a habit, do it without any reservation, till it is firmly established. Until it is so confirmed, until it becomes a part of your character, let there be no exception, no relaxation of effort.

It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.

Habit is ten times nature.

Habit is stronger than reason.

Habit allows us to go from 'before' to 'after,' to make life easier and better. Habit is notorious - and rightly so - for its ability to direct our actions, even against our will; but by mindfully shaping our habits, we can harness the power of mindlessness as a sweeping force for serenity, energy, and growth.

To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.

Habit is something you can do without thinking, which is why most of us have so many of them.

Habit is a second nature which prevents us from knowing the first, of which it has neither the cruelties nor the enchantments.
