"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"
- Tryon Edwards
About this Quote
This quote by Tryon Edwards is a tip of the power of habit. It recommends that any kind of activity that is repeated often will at some point come to be a routine, and also if that habit is not withstood, it will come to be more powerful and also more powerful. The quote compares the behavior to a spider's web, which is initially delicate and very easy to damage, however if it is not resisted, it will end up being stronger and at some point bind us with chains of steel. This quote functions as an alerting to be mindful of our behaviors and also to resist them if they are not beneficial. It is a suggestion that we have the power to choose our practices which we must understand the effects of our actions.
