Habits Quotes

It is a shocking habit,--destructive to the logical faculty." ~ The Sign of The Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits. ~ The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson by Mark Twain "Its matter was not new to me, but was presented in a new aspect. It shook me in my habit - the habit of nine-tenths of the world - of believing that all was right about me, because I was used to it." ~ Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens Yet habit--strange thing! what cannot habit accomplish? ~ Moby Dick by Herman Melville Do we not wile away moments of inanity or fatigued waiting by repeating some trivial movement or sound, until the repetition has bred a want, which is incipient habit? ~ Silas Marner by George Eliot Old habit of mind is one of the toughest things to get away from in the world. It transmits itself like physical form and feature. ~ A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain
