Habit is ten times nature.

Habit is ten times nature.

Summary

This quote implies that habits and routines have a much stronger influence on a person compared to their natural inclinations or abilities. It suggests that the patterns of behavior we develop through repetition and consistent practice are more significant in shaping our character and abilities than our innate talents or instincts alone. In other words, the deeds we repeat and make a habit become more dominant and defining in our lives than any natural predispositions we may have.

You feel that you have no longer any friend to whom you can speak with unreserve; on whose regard you can place dependence; or whose counsel, in any difficult, you could rely on.

It is a common thing for men to benumb their own arms, and make them as dead and useless by leaning too much upon them: so it is in a moral as well as a natural way: all the prudence and pains in the world avail nothing without God. So saith the Psalmist, in Psalm cxxvii. 2.
