“Now the way of life that I preach is a habit to be acquired gradually by long and steady repetition. It is the practice of living for the day only, and for the day's work.”
William Osler
“But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.”
D.H. Lawrence
“The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.”
David Mamet
“Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first”
Benjamin Franklin
“Burnout happens, not because we're trying to solve problems but because we've been trying to solve the same problem over and over and over.”
Susan Scott
“Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day”
Simone de Beauvoir
“You affect your subconscious mind by verbal repetition.”
W. Clement Stone
