W. Somerset Maugham Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory. Herbert Kaufman Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it. Tacitus Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have. Dale Carnegie For a while there, I was a stringer. The expression comes from the old habit of stringing together the column inches that you had written. They'd measure it and pay you 10 cents an inch for your printed copy. Charles Kuralt For eleven months and maybe about twenty days each year, we concentrate upon the shortcomings of others, but for a few days at the turn of the New Year we look at our own. It is a good habit. Arthur H. Sulzberger For me, habit is just a synonym for death. Juliette Binoche Get the habit of analysis - analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind. Frank Lloyd Wright Getting into the habit of switching a timer on will, I promise, save you from any number of kitchen disasters. Delia Smith Giving credit where credit is due is a very rewarding habit to form. Its rewards are inestimable. Loretta Young Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit. Martha Gellhorn Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain. Marcus Tullius Cicero Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form. Andre Maurois Habit and routine have an unbelievable power to waste and destroy. Henri de Lubac Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities. Aldous Huxley Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it. Horace Mann Habit is a great deadener. Samuel Beckett 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. Blaise Pascal 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 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. Edith Wharton |
