Quote by Orison Swett Marden
The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably thought and act.
Summary
This quote illustrates how habits are formed and strengthened over time. It likens the beginning of a habit to an invisible thread, implying that it may not seem significant at first. However, with repetition, the action becomes stronger and more ingrained. Like adding individual filaments to a strand, each instance of the behavior strengthens the habit. Eventually, the habit becomes a "great cable" that tightly binds us to thinking and acting in a particular way. The quote emphasizes the power and inevitability of habits and the need to be mindful of the actions we repeat.
