Quote by Augustine of Hippo

Custom is second nature.

Custom is second nature.

Summary

This quote suggests that customary behavior, routines, and traditions have such a strong influence on individuals that they become almost instinctive or habitual, akin to a second nature. Over time, we tend to internalize and follow social conventions, cultural norms, and established practices so effortlessly that they become deeply ingrained in our character. Customary actions become natural and instinctual responses without the need for conscious decision-making. This quote highlights the significant impact that socialization and adherence to customary behavior can have on shaping our identity and actions.
