Quotations about habits | |
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habit. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. Men are not to be judged by their looks, habits, and appearances, but by the character of their lives and conversations. 'Tis better that a man's own works than another man's words should praise him. Habits are the crutches of old age: by the aid of these we manage to hobble along after the mental joints are stiff and the muscles rheumatic...when every act of self determination costs an effort and a pang. Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy soul - for the soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye it then, with a continuous series of such thoughts as these - that where a man can live, there if he will, he can also live well. |
