Thomas Jefferson Habit Quotations

It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards. The fortune of our lives therefore depends on employing well the short period of our youth.

There is no habit you will value so much as that of walking far without fatigue.

Gaming corrupts our disposition and teaches us a habit of hostility against all mankind.

Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics.

When habit has strengthened our sense of duties, they leave us no time for other things; but when young we neglect them and this gives us time for anything.
