Famous quotes containing the word habits:

    The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the countenance.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    ...it has been a joy to live, at last, under an Administration which—stumbling forward and backward, colliding with all the habits of government, all the habits of business—has still endeavored to make the happiness of man, woman and child its chief consideration.

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)
