“To fail, you merely have to cultivate a few bad habits. You just have to bide your time. And once someone has spent enough time cultivating bad habits and biding their time, they are much diminished. Much of what they could have been has dissipated, and much of the less that they have become is now real. Things fall apart, of their own accord, but the sins of men speed their degeneration. And then comes the flood.”
― Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“It doesn’t matter so much if they go to bed at the same time each evening, but waking up at a consistent hour is a necessity.

“The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart.”

“But the poison of the serpent, whose head you crush, enters you through the wound in your heel; and thus the serpent becomes more dangerous than it was before. Since whatever I reject is never- theless in my nature. I thought it was without, and so I believed that I could destroy it. But it resides in me and has only assumed a passing outer form and stepped toward me. I destroyed its form and believed that I was a conqueror. But I have not yet overcome myself.”
