“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.”
Aristotle
“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.”
Gloria Naylor
“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.”
“Virtue has never been as respectable as money”
“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.”
Shaquille ONeal
“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.”
