Vicious Habits

[pioneer]

By B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols

Vicious habits, when opposed, offer the most
vigorous resistance on the first attack. At each successive encounter
this resistance grows fainter and fainter, until finally it ceases
altogether and the victory is achieved. Habit is man's best friend and
worst enemy; it can exalt him to the highest pinnacle of virtue, honor
and happiness, or sink him to the lowest depths of vice, shame and
misery.
