Regularity of Good

 

 

“Punctuality is the stern virtue of men of business, and the graceful courtesy of princes.”

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

 

“Strange and marvelous things will happen with constant regularity as you alter your life and begin living in harmony with the laws of the universe.”

Earl Nightingale

 

“Regularity in the hours of rising and retiring, perseverance in exercise, adaptation of dress to the variations of climate, simple and nutritious aliment, and temperance in all things are necessary branches of the regimen of health.”

Lord Chesterfield

 

“Because you can't write habitually and well all the time, you have to be willing to write badly. That's how you get the regularity that enables you to be present for the good stuff.”

Jennifer Egan

 

“I am the same person I was before receiving the Nobel Prize. I work with the same regularity, I have not modified my habits, I have the same friends.”

Jose Saramago

 

“Generality is, indeed, an indispensable ingredient of reality; for mere individual existence or actuality without any regularity whatever is a nullity. Chaos is pure nothing.”

Charles Sanders Peirce

 

“Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.”

Louisa May Alcott

Repetition Works

    The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition. John Wooden   We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Will Durant   Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality. Earl Nightingale   It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
