Thought for Today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enduring habits I hate….
Yes, at the very bottom of my soul
I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness
and everything about me that is imperfect,
because this sort of thing leaves me
with a hundred backdoors through which
I can escape from enduring habits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Friedrich Nietzsche~

Thought for Today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I never could have done what I have done
without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence,
without the determination to concentrate myself
on one subject at a time…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Charles Dickens~

Thought for Today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moral virtues then,
are produced in us neither by nature
nor against nature. Nature, indeed,
prepares in us the ground for their reception,
but their complete formation
is the product of habit.

~Aristotle~
