The secret of the whole matter is that a habit is not the mere tendency to repeat a certain act, nor is it established by the mere repetition of the act. Habit is a fixed tendency to react or respond in a certain way to a given stimulus; and the formation of habit always involves the two elements, the stimulus and the response or reaction. The indolent lad goes to school not in response to any stimulus in the school itself, but to the pressure of his father's will; when that stimulus is absent, the reaction as a matter of course does not occur."
Edward O. Sisson


"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

"Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired."
Mortimer Caplan

"It is with our passions as it is with fire and water; they are good servants, but bad masters."
Roger L'Estrange

"Habit: The shackles of the free."
Ambrose Gwinett Bierce

"The long span of the bridge of your life is supported by countless cables called habits, attitudes, and desires. What you do in life depends upon what you are and what you want. What you get from life depends upon how much you want it—how much you are willing to work and plan and cooperate and use your resources. The long span of the bridge of your life is supported by countless cables that you are spinning now, and that is why today is such an important day. Make the cables strong!"
L. G. Elliott



"The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."
Samuel Johnson


"Nicotine withdrawal was very much like trying to s*** a melon. The pressure was remarkable! Seemingly an impossible task. I would break out into sweats, cough, curse, yell, and wake up periodically throughout the night from vicious nightmares. Three full weeks of endless torment without relief. The incommodiousness of it all."
Greg Evans



"Small habits well pursued betimes May reach the dignity of crimes."
Hannah More



"Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address."
Lane Olinghouse



"In one sense the whole process of development consists of the formation of habits; for knowledge itself, and the powers of thought, as well as the higher elements in the will, all depend upon the establishment of fixed ways of reacting to given stimuli. Consequently, the general laws of habituation underlie the whole of education. But the term habit is more commonly restricted to those established reactions that act with little or no participation of consciousness, or, in other words, mechanically or automatically. Such habits as these begin to form very early, and constitute a kind of supporting framework for the higher elements of character."
Edward O. Sisson
