Famous quotes containing the word habits:
“Movies are one of the bad habits that corrupted our century. Of their many sins, I offer as the worst their effect on the intellectual side of the nation. It is chiefly from that viewpoint I write of them—as an eruption of trash that has lamed the American mind and retarded Americans from becoming a cultured people.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.”
—Errol Flynn (1909–1959)
