Summary

This quote by John Dryden suggests that our unhealthy or unproductive habits may seem insignificant at first, much like small brooks.

Eventually, these habits can become unstoppable forces, akin to rivers flowing into the vastness of the sea. It serves as a reminder to be conscious of our habits, as they can gradually become more influential in our lives and potentially lead us astray.
