There's a quote that I'm looking for, which I'm certain came from C.S. Lewis, but I cannot find it online.
It goes something like, "If only children realise that their entire adult life will consist of nothing but the habits they have learned, they would be more careful of what they do." That's the gist of it anyway, although I'm sure the original was phrased better.
The closest thing I've found online so far is this:
The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half. ~Feodor Dostoevski
