Make it a point to do something every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.

The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.

Smoking too much makes me nervous. Must lasso my natural tendency to acquire such habits. Holding heavy cigar constantly in my mouth has deformed my upper lip, it has a sort of Havana curl.

Many a bad habit is developed through overindulgence, and many a good one by chastisement; therefore, beat your son as well as your pupil; never indulge them.
