We have a high ceiling. We're still young. We're still learning coach's system and we're still learning how to play hard every night. I think that's been a bad habit of ours the last few years. It's a habit that's hard to shake, too. I think if we keep pushing, we'll be alright this season. ~ Andrew Bogut
Bad Habit quotes by Andrew Bogut
Nice,' I say, realizing only afterward that I've mimicked her, a bad habit of mine; I'm like one of those animals that imitates its predators to survive. ~ Melissa Bank
Bad Habit quotes by Melissa Bank
I feel like I'm a New Yorker because I really know the city. I actually tell the drivers where to go - I have this bad habit, I always question the drivers. I do that all the time because I feel like I know the best way, when really it's like, 'Yo, man, shut up. This dude does this every day of his life.' ~ J. Cole
Bad Habit quotes by J. Cole
Upon occasion we should go as far as intoxication ... Drink washes cares away, stirs the mind from its lowest depths ... But in liberty moderation is wholesome, and so it is in wine ... We ought not indulge too often, for fear the mind contract a bad habit, yet it is right to draw it toward elation and release and to banish dull sobriety for a little. ~ Seneca The Younger
Bad Habit quotes by Seneca The Younger
The outside world is just a bad habit of the so-called nervous system. ~ Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
Bad Habit quotes by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
My dress is caught in the settee. And I would be much obliged if you would help me out of it!" "The dress or the settee?" the stranger asked, sounding interested. "The settee," Pandora said irritably. "I'm all tangled up in these dratted - " she hesitated, wondering what to call the elaborate wooden curls and twists carved into the back of the settee. " - swirladingles," she finished. "Acanthus scrolls," the man said at the same time. A second passed before he asked blankly, "What did you call them?" "Never mind," Pandora said with chagrin. "I have a bad habit of making up words, and I'm not supposed to say them in public." "Why not?" "People might think I'm eccentric." His quiet laugh awakened a ticklish feeling in her stomach. "At the moment, darling, made-up words are the least of your problems. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Bad Habit quotes by Lisa Kleypas
He's just a guy who got caught up in a bad habit and made a few mistakes at work." "He's ~ Jeremy Robert Johnson
Bad Habit quotes by Jeremy Robert Johnson
Maybe Himalayan climbing is just a bad habit, like smoking, of which one says with cavalier abandon, must give this up some day, before it kills me. ~ Greg Child
Bad Habit quotes by Greg Child
As the mother of a small boy, she had developed a bad habit of carrying a little of everything in her purse, not to mention all the little treasures that Jeremy had given her - pretty rocks, a wilted violet, a ring he'd made from braided pine needles. The collection was a junky-looking mess. When the stranger picked up an unwrapped peppermint candy with more hair on it than stripes, Chloe wished the floor planks would separate and swallow her. His hard mouth twitched as he dropped the candy back in her purse along with an emergency tampon whose wrapper had nearly disintegrated. ~ Catherine Anderson
Bad Habit quotes by Catherine Anderson
The best way to break a bad habit is to drop it. ~ Leo Aikman
Bad Habit quotes by Leo Aikman
He ignored the concern in De Wilde's tone and stood. He knew she considered herself his friend. But eventually she'd figure out that it wasn't just that he didn't want any friends right now - he needed not to have them. Because his friends had a bad habit of ending up dead. "Just ducky. ~ Roseanna M White
Bad Habit quotes by Roseanna M White
Kelly has a rather bad habit of interrupting. ~ Jack Osbourne
Bad Habit quotes by Jack Osbourne
I can't stop biting my nails. It's a bad habit of mine. I like anything to do with math and numbers. I know a lot of people don't like geometry, but for me it's fun. ~ Khleo
Bad Habit quotes by Khleo
The life we've left behind us has a bad habit of stepping out of the shadows, of bringing complaints to us, of taking us to court. ~ Milan Kundera
Bad Habit quotes by Milan Kundera
fleas are like a bad habit - awfully hard to get rid of once you get them ~ Haruki Murakami
Bad Habit quotes by Haruki Murakami
He started Number the Stars before we were even out of the store. "The only problem is, I already know how it ends," he said. "Because once when I looked at it back at the library, I found out."
"I do that too," I said. "It's a bad habit."
"But I never mean to." He was walking, talking, and reading all at the same time. "It's that I always have to look back and see how many pages there are, so I know when I'll be exactly halfway through, but then when I see the last page it's like my eyes suck up all the words. ~ Rebecca Makkai
Bad Habit quotes by Rebecca Makkai
I have full faith in people. I think that we have the ability to change. We're habitual creatures. Once we figure out that bad habit and identify it, whether it's behavioral or whatever it may be, we change our habits. Obviously, I'm simplifying it and making it sound very easy to do, and we all know it's very difficult, but it's doable. ~ Eva Mendes
Bad Habit quotes by Eva Mendes
And with that, they parted like two strangers, setting off in entirely different directions, just as they had in the past, as if it were some kind of bad habit, or maybe just a curse. ~ Jennifer E. Smith
Bad Habit quotes by Jennifer E. Smith
In the philosophy of mind - as, indeed, in more important matters - [the twentieth century] has been a less than fully satisfactory century. We pretty much wasted the first half, so it seems to me, in a neurotic and obsessive preoccupation with refuting Cartesian skepticism about other minds. In the event, it didn't matter that the skeptics weren't refuted since there turned out not to be any. The only philosophers who really were doubtful about the existence of other minds were relentless anti-Cartesians like Wittgenstein, Dewey, Ryle, Quine and Rorty, and they were equally doubtful about the existence of their own. What we got for our efforts was mostly decades of behaviorism and the persistent bad habit of trying to run epistemological or semantic arguments for metaphysical conclusions. The end of this, I fear, is still not with us. ~ Jerry A. Fodor
Bad Habit quotes by Jerry A. Fodor
Frankly, I am quite tired of those who tout Christianity as a way to stop smoking or drinking or break wild habits of the world. Is that all Christianity is, to keep us from some bad habit? Of course, regeneration will clean us up, and the new birth will make a man right. If that is what Christianity is all about, what about the person whose life is not that bad? The purpose of God in redemption is to restore us again to the divine imperative of worship. We were created to worship, but sin destroyed that ability. Jesus Christ, on the cross, redeemed us and brought us back to the place where we now can worship and have fellowship with God Almighty. My clean life is a by-product of my conversion. My life may have pointed out to me that I needed a drastic change, but that is not the purpose for which I was converted. The essence of conversion is to bring me into a right relationship with God and have fellowship with Him. ~ A.W. Tozer
Bad Habit quotes by A.W. Tozer
Changing our decision sets up a bad habit. It reinforces decision-making as an expression of bewilderment and ignorance, instead of wisdom and freedom. ~ Sakyong Mipham
Bad Habit quotes by Sakyong Mipham
What God does in the tiny corners of our day-to-day lives is stunning and gorgeous and headline-making, but we have a bad habit of saving the headlines for the grotesque and scary. ~ Shauna Niequist
Bad Habit quotes by Shauna Niequist
In times past ... it was my habit to talk glibly of the right of man to land. It was a bad habit, and I long ago sloughed it off. Man's only right to land is his might over it. If his neighbor is mightier than he and takes the land from him, then the land is his neighbor's, until the latter is dispossessed by one mightier still. ~ Benjamin Tucker
Bad Habit quotes by Benjamin Tucker
One bad habit Teall wishes to cure us of right away is mistreating the hyphen by putting it between an adverb ending in ly and a participle. His example is a headline: "Use of 'Methodist' Is Newly-Defined." Lavishing sympathy on the hyphen, he laments, "Did you ever see a hyphen more completely wasted? A hyphen more unnecessarily and fruitlessly employed?" Even ~ Mary Norris
Bad Habit quotes by Mary Norris
Queen Elizabeth was rather a flirt all her life. She finally developed a bad habit of boxing her partners' ears and shouting "god's death, I'll have thy head!" This discouraged some of her more sensitive partners, ~ Will Cuppy
Bad Habit quotes by Will Cuppy
How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through life. ~ Jack Nicklaus
Bad Habit quotes by Jack Nicklaus
Most people have a blank slate and can start from nothing. But for me, I had to break a bad habit that I've been doing all of my life, which is freestyle hip-hop. ~ Roshon Fegan
Bad Habit quotes by Roshon Fegan
Lookin' back is a bad habit. ~ Charles Portis
Bad Habit quotes by Charles Portis
Important: When you're attempting to shift your thoughts, picking a new thought that you want to strengthen is essential. Think of changing a thought as like attempting to change a habit: When you change a habit, you don't so much break a bad habit as build up and strengthen a new one. When you practice entertaining new thoughts, eventually those new thoughts will start to become more automatic. In situations that used to trigger your old thoughts, now the new thought will also be triggered. ~ Alice Boyes
Bad Habit quotes by Alice Boyes
A bad habit or two is good for a man or a beast. Did you ever know a man who didn't have any bad habits? I have, and I always hated the son of a bitch." -- Charlie Flagg ~ Elmer Kelton
Bad Habit quotes by Elmer Kelton
Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit. ~ Sharon Horgan
Bad Habit quotes by Sharon Horgan
The movie was Son of Frankenstein, and there was a Gene Autry film along with it. I liked the Frankenstein movie. I liked all Frankenstein movies. But as for Gene Autry, I never liked him very much. He had a bad habit of pulling out his guitar and singing, right in the middle of the movie. ~ Don Lemna
Bad Habit quotes by Don Lemna
And you have a bad habit of pretending like you don't need people." There was a bite in his tone. "I'm not sorry I kissed you. ~ Jennifer Wilson
Bad Habit quotes by Jennifer Wilson
And Latin America has become very fashionable, yet what repels me is that everyone in Europe goes and imposes themselves there under this mantle of social and socialist cooperation, which in reality is nothing but a disgusting subspecies of European Christian-Socialist fussiness.The Europeans bore themselves to death and meddle every where in the so called Third World in order to escape that fatal European boredom. Missionarianism is a German vice which has invariably just brought misfortune to the world today, which has invariably just plunged the world
into crisis The Church has only poisoned Africa with its detestable dear God, and now it is poisoning Latin America with it. The Catholic Church is the world poisoner the world destroyer, the world annihilator, that is the truth. The Germans continually poison the world outside of
their borders and they will give it no rest until this entire world is fatally poisoned. So I have long withdrawn from my bad habit of wanting to help people in Africa and South America and into myself entirely. There is no helping humanity in our world which has been a hypocrisy for centuries. And, like humanity, there is no helping the World because both are a hypocrisy through and through.
(Goethe Dies, p. 73) ~ Thomas Bernhard
Bad Habit quotes by Thomas Bernhard
I wanted to be a brain surgeon, but I had a bad habit of dropping things. ~ Gilbert Gottfried
Bad Habit quotes by Gilbert Gottfried
You two have a bad habit of acting like fools and calling it heroic. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Bad Habit quotes by Leigh Bardugo
One bad habit often spoils a dozen good ones. ~ Napoleon Hill
Bad Habit quotes by Napoleon Hill
You see, when someone says "it's impossible,' I have this very bad habit, I can't help myself, I immediately contradict that person in the most positive terms possible. A very bad habit, but one that I find hard to break. ~ Douglas Preston
Bad Habit quotes by Douglas Preston
Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday. ~ Napoleon Hill
Bad Habit quotes by Napoleon Hill
If breaking a habit has been hard for you to do, hard for you even to face, then a helping hand is in order. ~ Kenneth Schwarz
Bad Habit quotes by Kenneth Schwarz
Evil is boring. Cynicism is pointless. Fear is a bad habit. Despair is lazy. Hopelessness is self-indulgent. On the other hand: Joy is fascinating. Love is an act of heroic genius. Pleasure is our birthright. Chronic ecstasy is a learnable skill. ~ Rob Brezsny
Bad Habit quotes by Rob Brezsny
One mustn't be so cocksure, Joker says. Bad habit, he repeats. ~ Jostein Gaarder
Bad Habit quotes by Jostein Gaarder
The truth is, you don't break a bad habit; you replace it with a good one. ~ Denis Waitley
Bad Habit quotes by Denis Waitley
She tried not to think in capital letters. It was a bad habit. If you weren't careful, pretty soon you'd find yourself Going to the Store to Buy a Carton of Milk - or worse, speaking German. ~ Max Gladstone
Bad Habit quotes by Max Gladstone
It was a bad habit of hers ... looking for safety in places where there wasn't any. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Bad Habit quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Cause a costume can be comfortable It can make you feel more beautiful It can even make you look like someone else But it's still you, so there's nothing you can do Like a bad habit, the one you couldn't kick, there it always is And it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fix. ~ Conor Oberst
Bad Habit quotes by Conor Oberst
It was magic, I felt the bond between us.
She was a jelly to my peanuts, Mars to Venus,
The Earth to my sun, moon and stars,
We added up mathematically ...
It's like I had a bad habit, B! ~ Ghostface Killah
Bad Habit quotes by Ghostface Killah
The best way to stop a bad habit is to never begin it ~ J. C. Penney
Bad Habit quotes by J. C. Penney
I paint the way someone bites his fingernails; for me, painting is a bad habit because I don't know nor can I do anything else. ~ Pablo Picasso
Bad Habit quotes by Pablo Picasso
There should be no such thing as a vice law. Every vice is only a bad habit, and the punishment is inherent in the act. ~ Doug Stanhope
Bad Habit quotes by Doug Stanhope
When you're walking at the airport, you're expected to smile at people because they know you ... I find that tough. I'm only trying to protect myself. So I don't take my eyes off the floor. People can take that as attitude. But it's actually shyness. Yes, it is a bad habit. But it's a defense mechanism. ~ Katrina Kaif
Bad Habit quotes by Katrina Kaif
I have a bad habit of wolfing down things that catch my eye. ~ Katze Snow
Bad Habit quotes by Katze Snow
It's a very bad habit to put off disagreeable things ... ~ L.M. Montgomery
Bad Habit quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Statisticians, like artists, have the bad habit of falling in love with their models. ~ George E.P. Box
Bad Habit quotes by George E.P. Box
No sooner do I conquer a bad habit than I become the biggest critic of anyone who still does what I just stopped doing. ~ Judah Smith
Bad Habit quotes by Judah Smith
You have a bad habit of listing anything that can go wrong, Volger."
"I have always considered that a good habit ~ Scott Westerfeld
Bad Habit quotes by Scott Westerfeld
In the killing of animals there is cruelty, rage, and the accustoming of oneself to the bad habit of shedding innocent blood. ~ Joseph Albo
Bad Habit quotes by Joseph Albo
In my ten years of teaching I've noticed that teachers tend to have a bad habit of talking to themselves. I hypothesize that this is because we talk for a living, and we feel safe speaking our feelings aloud. Or it could be that most of us, especially the high school teacher variety, are just weird as shit. ~ P.C. Cast
Bad Habit quotes by P.C. Cast
The truth is a thing I get id of as soon as possible! Bad habit, by the way. Makes one very unpopular at the club... with the older members. They call it being conceited. Perhaps it is. ~ Oscar Wilde
Bad Habit quotes by Oscar Wilde
It is a bad habit to shout it from the rooftops when one challenges a person. Not everyone benefits from attracting attention. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Bad Habit quotes by Alexandre Dumas
You can't break a bad habit by throwing it out the window. You've got to walk it slowly down the stairs. ~ Mark Twain
Bad Habit quotes by Mark Twain
It takes a good habit to replace a bad habit. ~ Melody Carlson
Bad Habit quotes by Melody Carlson
He: I have this crazy yearning in my heart, to make you mine.
She: Sure, go ahead and make me your bad habit! ~ Avijeet Das
Bad Habit quotes by Avijeet Das
The life we have left behind us has a bad habit of stepping out of the shadows, of bringing complaints against us, of taking us to court. ~ Milan Kundera
Bad Habit quotes by Milan Kundera
I have a bad habit of inserting my ideas into shots and things. I don't know, I don't hold back on suggesting things, but I don't have any connection to what actually happens, so I'll make a suggestion on something and then just let it go. ~ Bryan Cranston
Bad Habit quotes by Bryan Cranston
I stopped smoking. But my personality I still have. I get up in the morning, and not everybody loves me, so if you want to call that a bad habit, there's that. ~ Don Rickles
Bad Habit quotes by Don Rickles
A bad habit never disappears miraculously, it's an undo-it-yourself project. ~ Abigail Van Buren
Bad Habit quotes by Abigail Van Buren
you, and have no little girls' clothes to mend." "Yes," said Maggie. "It is with me as I used to think it would be with the poor uneasy white bear I saw at the show. I thought he must have got so stupid with the habit of turning backward and forward in that narrow space that he would keep doing it if they set him free. One gets a bad habit of being unhappy." "But I shall put you under a discipline of pleasure that will make you lose that bad habit," said Lucy, sticking the black butterfly absently in her own collar, while her eyes met Maggie's affectionately. "You dear, tiny thing," said Maggie, in one of her bursts of loving admiration, "you enjoy other people's happiness so much, I believe you would do without any of your own. I wish I were like you." "I've never been tried in that way," said Lucy. "I've always ~ George Eliot
Bad Habit quotes by George Eliot
you have a bad habit of falling at the feet of those who kick you straight to the curb. ~ Noor Shirazie
Bad Habit quotes by Noor Shirazie
If a bad habit is a learned behavior, then what we've learned needs to be burned in/thru the Refiner's Fire! el ~ Evinda Lepins
Bad Habit quotes by Evinda Lepins
Look, I'm not trying to upset you, but, lately, you have this really bad habit of going for the jugular the micro-second someone says anything you don't like. You're so focused on winning every battle that you don't even realize you're losing the war. I'm sure it feels good in the short-term but, Ivy, it's childish. You've got to start considering the consequences of your actions before going off half-cocked all the time. Otherwise, one day you're gonna look around and realize you've run everyone off who cares about you. ~ Jaycee DeLorenzo
Bad Habit quotes by Jaycee DeLorenzo
I have this bad habit of ignoring messages when I'm stressed. ~ Laura Silverman
Bad Habit quotes by Laura Silverman
We feel led to caution ... against forming the bad habit of incurring debt and taking upon themselves obligations which frequently burden them heavier than they can bear, and lead to the loss of their homes and other possessions. We know it is the fashion of the age to use credit to the utmost limit ... We, therefore, repeat our counsel ... to shun debt. Be content with moderate gains, and be not misled by illusory hopes of acquiring wealth ... Let our children also be taught habits of economy, and not to indulge in tastes which they cannot gratify without running into debt. ~ Wilford Woodruff
Bad Habit quotes by Wilford Woodruff
Death," he had said on another occasion, "seems to be merely a bad habit, which nature is at present powerless to overcome. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Bad Habit quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
No sleep?" asked Shadow, smiling. "I don't sleep. It's overrated. A bad habit I do my best to avoid - in company, wherever possible, and the young lady may go off the boil if I don't get back to her. ~ Neil Gaiman
Bad Habit quotes by Neil Gaiman
Transcending divisiveness is one of the dreams of centrists, as if disagreement were a bad habit rather than fundamental to politics. ~ Doug Henwood
Bad Habit quotes by Doug Henwood
I have a bad habit of starting a book and reading just far enough to make sure I want to read it and look forward to reading and then putting it to one side while I break the ice on a couple more. In that way, when I feel dull and depressed which is too often, I know I have something to read late at night when I do most of it and not that horrid blank feeling of not having anybody to talk to or listen to. ~ Raymond Chandler
Bad Habit quotes by Raymond Chandler
married life is merely a habit, a bad habit. ~ Oscar Wilde
Bad Habit quotes by Oscar Wilde
Acting for me is not a bad habit like smoking that I must make an effort to quit. I love acting; I love directing. ~ Joan Chen
Bad Habit quotes by Joan Chen
Do not make passion an argument for truth! - O you good-natured and even noble enthusiasts, I know you! You want to win your argument against us, but also against yourself, and above all against yourself!and a subtle and tender bad conscience so often incites you against your enthusiasm! How ingenious you then become in the outwitting and deadening of this conscience! How you hate the honest, the simple, the pure, how you avoid their innocent eyes! That knowing better whose representatives they are and whose voice you hear all too loudly within you, how it casts doubt on your belief- how you seek to make it suspect as a bad habit, as a sickness of the age, as neglect and infection of your own spiritual health! You drive yourself to the point of hating criticism, science, reason! You have to falsify history so that it may bear witness for you, you have to deny virtues so that they shall not cast into the shade those of your idols and ideals! Coloured pictures where what is needed is rational grounds! Ardour and power of expression! Silvery mists! Ambrosial nights! You understand how to illuminate and how to obscure, and how to obscure with light! And truly, when your passion rises to the point of frenzy, there comes a moment when you say to yourself: now I have conquered the good conscience, now I am light of heart, courageous, self-denying, magnificent, now I am honest! How you thirst for those moments when your passion bestows on you perfect self-justification and as it were ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Bad Habit quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I don't think it's illegal. I don't think it's against the rules. It's as dangerous for me to have a toothpick in your mouth as it is to have a 200-pound man punch me in the face hard or try to kick me in the face. I'm more worried about that, to be honest. I don't have any superstitions. I won world titles with a toothpick. I defended it without a toothpick. It all depends. Sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't. It's a bad habit. I know I shouldn't do it, but it's fine. ~ Benson Henderson
Bad Habit quotes by Benson Henderson
But I wondered if all this kissing was a bad habit with him and me. The thing we did with our mouths instead of talking. ~ Gabrielle Zevin
Bad Habit quotes by Gabrielle Zevin
I rested my forehead on a grease spot I'd left on the window earlier. The airlines, I thought, must have custodians who clean the windows, or there'd be an inches-thick layer of goo on them from people like me.
That thought was proof positive that I shouldn't be allowed to stay up for more than eighteen hours at a time. I have a bad habit of following every thought to its miserable, pathetic little end when I'm tired. I don't mean to. It's just that my brain and my tongue get unhinged. Though some of my less charitable acquaintances would say this condition didn't require sleep deprivation. ~ C.E. Murphy
Bad Habit quotes by C.E. Murphy
There just isn't enough cock in this world to be caught suckin' and be called anything but a slut for life. The cynic in me would call it a bad habit, but that'd make me a whore in denial and if there's one thing I am, it's an honest bitch. Then again, you don't get famous for being daddy's little angel, but you can easily fall into the Infamy Bracket by preaching a made-up Bible quote now and again. They say I'm shallow, but I've made a living out off diving off the deep end. ~ Dave Matthes
Bad Habit quotes by Dave Matthes
Everytime you feed the flesh, you strenghten it. This is good if you are trying to build a good habit, but detrimental if you are trying to stop a bad habit. The way to "kill the flesh" is to starve it; to stop feeding it. ~ Joyce Meyer
Bad Habit quotes by Joyce Meyer
For although she had been, and still was, very much admired, she had got into the way of preferring unsatisfactory love affairs to any others, so that it was becoming almost a bad habit. ~ Barbara Pym
Bad Habit quotes by Barbara Pym
As a rule, I think they are quite impossible. Geniuses talk so much, don't they? Such a bad habit! And they are always thinking about themselves, when I want them to be thinking about me. ~ Oscar Wilde
Bad Habit quotes by Oscar Wilde
I'm starting to think that you have a really bad habit of trying to save me."
She turns shy and looks down. "You are worth saving. ~ Daniele Lanzarotta
Bad Habit quotes by Daniele Lanzarotta
When you want to quit a 'bad habit, think about what 'good' it's doing in your life. ~ Trishna Damodar
Bad Habit quotes by Trishna Damodar
As a kid, I was a little self-conscious because I was so much taller than everyone. A bad habit of mine used to be slouching. Eventually, I realized my height was something I couldn't control, so I might as well accept it. I've certainly turned it into a positive, because without my height I probably wouldn't be as good of a tennis player. It's a gift, and I've made something of it. ~ John Isner
Bad Habit quotes by John Isner
You really have a bad habit of falling," he remarked.
Falling for you, Amarissa thought. ~ Aishabella Sheikh
Bad Habit quotes by Aishabella Sheikh
Mankind has one great habit, a bad habit: To create rules on behalf of God! Unless A God appears on the sky and says 'Here are the rules,' do not take any rule serious! Remember that in this universe, there is no port that you can take refuge apart from the reason and the science! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Bad Habit quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
I had this bad habit of not writing out a first draft and going back. For me it was the first sentence, then the second sentence, and I might be several weeks on the first page instead of writing a draft and trying to figure it out from there. ~ Donald Ray Pollock
Bad Habit quotes by Donald Ray Pollock
Exchange the bad habit of worrying with the excellent habit of trusting God. ~ Elizabeth George
Bad Habit quotes by Elizabeth George
Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond. ~ Richard Carlson
Bad Habit quotes by Richard Carlson
If we spend twenty minutes a day reading our Bibles, but the remaining twenty-three hours and forty minutes ruminating on unbiblical thoughts, then it is no wonder that our sinful beliefs and values are so stubborn and our sinful emotions so strong. Sinful ruminating can reverse the good effects of time spent in God's Word. It slows our growth and keeps us stuck in the same sinful emotions. We can't expect to grow godly emotions in the soil of our sinful ruminations, so if we struggle to change our beliefs and values, this bad habit is the place to start. ~ Carolyn Mahaney
Bad Habit quotes by Carolyn Mahaney
As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol. ~ Barack Obama
Bad Habit quotes by Barack Obama
The most dangerous thing of all, and something he wanted to warn me about above all else, the one thing that had consigned whole regiments of unfortunate young people to the twilight world of insanity, was reading books. This objectionable practice had increased among the younger generation, and Dad was more pleased than the could say to not that I had not yet displayed any such tendencies. Lunatic asylums were overflowing with folk who'd been reading too much. Once upon a time they'd been just like you and me, physically strong, straightforward, cheerful, and well balanced. Then they'd started reading. Most often by chance. A bout of flu perhaps, with a few days in bed. An attractive book cover that had aroused some curiosity. And suddenly the bad habit had taken hold. The first book had led to another. Then another, and another, all links in a chain that led straight down into the eternal night of mental illness. It was impossible to stop. It was worse than drugs.

It might just be possible, if you were very careful, to look at the occasional book that could teach you something, such as encyclopedias or repair manuals. The most dangerous kind of book was fiction-- that's where all the brooding was sparked and encouraged. Damnit all! Addictive and risky products like that should only be available in state-regulated monopoly stores, rationed and sold only to those with a license, and mature in age. ~ Mikael Niemi
Bad Habit quotes by Mikael Niemi
Yet our ability to exercise free will and transcend the most extraordinary obstacles does not make the conditions of our life irrelevant. Most of us struggle and often fail to meet the biggest challenges of our lives. Even the smaller challenges - breaking a bad habit or sticking to a diet - often prove too difficult, even for those of us who are relatively privileged and comfortable in our daily lives. In fact, what is most remarkable about the hundreds of thousands of people who return from prison to their communities each year is not how many fail, but how many somehow manage to survive and stay out of prison against all odds. ~ Michelle Alexander
Bad Habit quotes by Michelle Alexander
Of course married life is merely a habit, a bad habit. But then one regrets the loss even of one's worse habits. ~ Oscar Wilde
Bad Habit quotes by Oscar Wilde
