Habit Quotes

“My untidy habits drive me to follow the slash-and-burn principle.

All these contribute to me being fit and looking good.”

“Logic, like language, is partly a free construction and partly a means of symbolizing and harnessing in expression the existing diversities of things; and whilst some languages, given a man's constitution and habits, may seem more beautiful and convenient to him than others, it is a foolish heat in a patriot to insist that only his native language is intelligible or right.”
