"Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel"

It is a suggestion that we have the power to choose our practices which we must understand the effects of our actions.
