Habit

Habit may be likened to a cable; every day we weave a thread, and soon we cannot break it.
—Anonymous

Habits are like the wrinkles on a man’s brow; if you will smooth out the one, I will smooth out the other.
—Josh Billings

Bad habits are as infectious by example as the plague itself by contact.
—Henry Fielding
