Quote by Benjamin Franklin

It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.

It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is more convenient and effective to avoid developing negative habits in the first place rather than trying to get rid of them later. The idea is to be proactive in managing our behavior and actions, focusing on cultivating positive habits and behaviors rather than allowing negative ones to take root. By being conscious and disciplined in our choices and actions from the beginning, we can save ourselves the difficulty and effort of trying to change or break deeply ingrained bad habits in the future.

In the revised story, the Hopping Pot protects an innocent wizard from his torch-bearing, pitchfork-toting neighbours by chasing them away from the wizard's cottage, catching them and swallowing them whole.

The warlock's gaze, on the flames, was remote and distant, as if he were looking back into the past. Simon couldn't help but remember what Magnus had said to him once, about living forever:Someday you and I will be the only two left.
