HABITS

Change Criticism Behavior

You are in bondage to whatever or whoever you depend upon.

First we make our habits, then our habits make us.

We hold onto our faults by seeing them in others.

Habits are at first like cobwebs, then they become like steel cables.

The chains of habit are too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

Everyone is ignorant. The only difference is in degree.

The best way to break a habit is to drop it.

Positive thinking is a habit. So is worry.

Form good habits, they are as hard to break as bad ones.

The only person who welcomes change is a baby with a wet diaper.

Good habits are hard to form but easy to live with. Bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with.

Discussion is an evidence of knowledge. Argument is an evidence of ignorance.

Finding fault is easy. It's improving that is hard.

My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with the facts.

To speak ill of others is only a round about way of bragging about yourself.

Prejudice is being down on what we are not up on.

If you feel you have no faults, that makes another one!

Not everything we face can be changed, but nothing can be changed until we face it.

Trying to change conditions without changing ourselves is as impossible as dry water.

Everyone thinks of changing the world and trying to change others, but no one thinks of changing themselves.

Real change begins with oneself.

We only grow when we change.

In order for things to change for the better, a change has to take place.

Most people are in favor of progress. It's change they don't like.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

By improving yourself the world is made better.

When you're through changing, you're through.

Change is inevitable, so learn to live with it rather than against it.

My best lessons in life are not those teaching me new things, so much as those helping me unlearn some old things.

Don't find fault with what you don't understand.

Whenever you point a finger at someone, remember three are pointing back at you.

We do not have much right to complain about mistakes made by people who are doing the work we should be doing.

It would be nice if folk found other things as easily as they find fault.

Democracy, like love, can survive any attack save neglect and indifference.

Many great ideas have been lost because the folk who had them couldn't stand to be laughed at.

Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong!

Criticism can be avoided by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

Hot arguments have a way of producing cold shoulders.

Many an argument is sound, merely sound.

The weaker the argument, the stronger the words.

Discontent is the penalty we must pay for being ungrateful for what we have.

Behavior is a mirror in which we show our image.

To achieve all that is possible, we must attempt the impossible. To be as much as we can be we must dream of being more.

Whatever your attitude is, people will reflect it back to you.

Do all things in moderation.

A person who talks about his inferiors hasn't any!

Every man is a fool in someone's opinion.

If you can't stand solitude, perhaps you bore others too.

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.

As you speak, so shall you be spoken of.

We need a reason for speaking. We need none for keeping silent.

A loose tongue often gets a person into a tight place.

A lot of things are opened by mistake, but none so often as the mouth.
