95% of everything you do is the result of habit.
Aristotle
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
When we look at the matter from another point of view, great caution would seem to be required. For the habit of lightly changing the laws is an evil, and, when the advantage is small, some errors both of lawgivers and rulers had better be left the citizen will not gain so much by making the change as he will lose by the habit of disobedience.
Aristotle
Character is revealed through action.
