*** The man who makes it the habit of his life to go to bed at nine o'clock, usually gets rich and is always reliable. Of course, going to bed does not make him rich�I merely mean that such a man will in all probability be up early in the morning and do a big day's work, so his weary bones put him to bed early. Rogues do their work at night. Honest men work by day. It's all a matter of habit, and good habits in America make any man rich. Wealth is a result of habit.
- John Jacob Astor
*** Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.
- Tryon Edwards
*** I don't have any bad habbits. They might be bad habits for other people, but they're all right for me.
- Eubie Blake
*** The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
