Mark Twain
Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else; this is not advice, it is merely custom.
|
Thomas Carlyle
We do everything by custom, even believe by it; our very axioms, let us boast of free-thinking as we may, are oftenest simply such beliefs as we have never heard questioned.
|
Thomas Fuller
Custom is the plague of wise men and the idol of fools.
