“First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you.”

“If the source were simply a few behavioral habits, you would have conquered them already.”

“Habits form and habits grow, Then some time later, habits go.”

“Your habits play a massive role in your sinful nature. Our habits are shaped by either a self-disciplined will, or a powerful felt need—and the latter can often pull us into habitual sin. If you really think about it, most sin is derived from a habit that has been formed over an extensive period of time, and then exposes itself when that habit yearns to be activated. On the other hand, forming habits of prayer and worship can also create virtuous habits that can counteract the destructive pull toward sin.”

“Habits are formed by the repetition of particular acts. They are strengthened by an increase in the number of repeated acts. Habits are also weakened or broken, and contrary habits are formed by the repetition of contrary acts.”

“It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterward.”
