“Quality is not an act, it is a habit.”
Aristotle
“A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.”
Mark Twain
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
“Do something everyday that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.”
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
“You will never reach higher ground if you are always pushing others down.”
Jeffrey Benjamin
“As to virtue . . . it is an act of the will, a habit which increases the quantity, intensity and quality of life. It builds up, strengthens and vivifies personality.”
Alexis Carrel
