My Grandmother used to say,

“A good habit is a faithful friend,
A bad habit is a vicious slave master.“

My Grandmother used to say,

“A good habit is a faithful friend,
A bad habit is a vicious slave master.“

I remember early on, when taking down some ash trees for my church, cutting up the wood on the ground, I was trying to develop some good habits. Two neighborhood boys were hanging out, so I offered them $5 each time they caught me moving either foot before engaging my chain brake. Cost me a little bit, but to this day when I move without engaging the brake (and I do when safe) the siren in my brain goes off - "danger! danger!"

It's better to want what you have than get what you want.

It's so much easier to exist than to live.
