Philosophy is the replacement of category-habits by category-disciplines.  Gilbert Ryle, The Concept of Mind, 1949

 

 

In this country, don’t forget, a habit is no damn private hell.  There’s no solitary confinement outside of jail.  A habit is hell for those you love.  Billie Holiday, Lady Sings the Blues, 1956

 

 

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.  Thomas Paine

 

 

Nothing is more powerful than custom or habit.  Ovid

 

 

Habits and customs are a convenience devised for the support of timid natures who dare not allow their souls free play.  Virginia Woolf, The Common Reader

 

 

A nail is driven out by another nail.  Habit is overcome by habit.  Erasmus

 

 

A habit does not a monk make.  Francois Rabelais

 

 

Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs one step at a time.  Oscar Wilde

 

 

I was sorry to have my name mentioned as one of the great authors because they have a sad habit of dying off.  Chaucer is dead.  Spencer is dead, so is Milton, so is Shakespeare, and I’m not feeling so well myself.  Mark Twain

 

 

I don’t have any bad habits.  They might be bad habits for other people, but they’re all right for me.  Eubie Blake

 

 

Not choice

But habit rules the unreflecting herd.  William Wordsworth

 

 

Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.  Aristotle  

 

 

Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit.  We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.  Aristotle

 

 

I got nasty habits; I take tea at three.  Mick Jagger

 

 

An unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones.  W Somerset Maugham

 

 

Right discipline consists, not in external compulsion, but in the habits of mind which lead spontaneously to desirable rather than undesirable activities.  Bertrand Russell

    

 

Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.  Marlene Dietrich  

  

 

The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.  Albert Camus, The Plague   

 

 

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

 

 

We first make our habits, then our habits make us.  John Dryden, also attributed Charles Noble  

 

 

Habit is a compromise effected between the individual and his environment, or between the individual and his own organic eccentricities, the guarantee of a dull inviolability, the lightning-conductor of his existence.  Samuel Beckett, Proust

 

 

Habit is a great deadener.  Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot, 1955

 

 

The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic; the passions that we feel expand it, those that we inspire contract it; and habit fills up what remains.  Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower  

 

 

Most of our faculties lie dormant because they can rely upon Habit, which knows what there is to be done and has no need of their services.  Marcel Proust, Remembrance of Things Past I: Swann’s Way & Within a Budding Grove

 

 

Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.  You are what you repeatedly do.  Shaquille ONeal

 

 

Great is the power of habit.  It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain.  Cicero

 

 

You should know, O man, that the greatest enemy you have in the world is your inclination.  Bahya ibn Paquda, Jewish philosopher

 

 

Tradition is entirely different from habit, even from an excellent habit, since habit is by definition an unconscious acquisition and tends to become mechanical, whereas tradition results from a conscious and deliberate acceptance ... Tradition presupposes the reality of what endures.  Igor Stravinsky, Poetics of Music, 1947

 

 

One gets a bad habit of being unhappy.  George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss

 

 

I never comment on referees and Im not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat.  Ron Atkinson, 1979

 

 

Human beings form habits … Are we acting out the artificial roles created by others who have successfully harnessed our minds through our habits?  Alex Jones: State of Mind

 

 

Motivation is what gets you started.  Habit is what keeps you going.  Jim Rohn
