Habit:
- The mind is a creature of habit. It is prone to habits; it does not matter what kind of habit it is, it likes to form them.
- If you feed good habits, it will learn the same, if not automatically it will learn bad habits.
- So one should be careful and work towards feeding good and positive thoughts and habits always.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle
Character:
- Like a cycle the samskara makes the person perform the same action again and again. This gets stronger and becomes a tendency and later a habit. Such a bundle of habits determine the character of a person.
- If they are good, a person's character is good and if they are bad its bad.
- We never work alone, all the forces of good are due to our good efforts and all the forces of bad are due to our evil deeds.
- Character is then made up of the cultivation of moral virtues plus some other virtues. In any kind of life - material, intellectual or spiritual - all these virtues are very necessary in order that we can grow.
"True nobility lies not in being superior to others but being superior to your former self." - Swami Vivekananda
- Neither money pays nor name, not fame, nor learning, it is character that can cleave through the adamantine wall of difficulties.
- Character is established through a thousand stumbles. Arise and awake.
- What matters it if this little life goes? Everyone has to die, the saint or the sinner. the rich or the poor.
- The body never remains for any one. Arise and awake and be perfectly sincere.
- What we want is character, that has steadiness and make a man cling on to a thing like grim death.
