Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don't put them both together by claiming you 'don't have the time'.

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality order and diligence without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world but as animals they inhabit time.

Winning is not a sometime thing it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while you don't do things right once in a while you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately so is losing.

It would be unwise to say the least irresponsible of us at the TSA at the Homeland Security Department not to evolve our technology to match the changing threat environment that we inhabit.

Writing became an obsessive compulsive habit but I had almost no money so I thought about being an urban firefighter and having lots of free time in which to write or becoming an English teacher and thinking about books and writers on a daily basis. That swayed me.

Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy who are as ignorant of each other's habits thoughts and feelings as if they were dwellers in different zones or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.

If success is a habit it is a hard one to acquire.

Any act often repeated soon forms a habit and habit allowed steady gains in strength At first it may be but as a spider's web easily broken through but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.
