The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and
you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a
character, and you reap a destiny.--G.D. BOARDMAN.

A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an
ink drop soileth the pure white page.--HOSEA BALLOU.

Habits are like the wrinkles on a man's brow; if you will smooth out
the one, I will smooth out the other.--H.W. SHAW.

A large part of Christian virtue consists in right habits.--PALEY.

Habit is ten times nature.--WELLINGTON.

Habit is the most imperious of all masters.--GOETHE.

I will govern my life and my thoughts as if the whole world were to

--COTTON.

The common course of things is in favor of happiness; happiness is the
rule, misery the exception. Were the order reversed, our attention
would be called to examples of health and competency, instead of
disease and want.--PALEY.

Happiness and virtue react upon each other,--the best are not only the
happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.--LYTTON.

God loves to see his creatures happy; our lawful delight is His; they
know not God that think to please Him with making themselves

God by wronging himself.--BISHOP HALL.

Real happiness is c
