The true power of custom (...) is actually based on the dullness, which wants to spare the mind and the will from the work, difficulty and danger of choosing differently, and therefore makes us do today what we did yesterday and a hundred times, and about which we know it leads to its goal.

Hungarian

"A szokásnak igazi hatalma (...) voltaképpen a tunyaságon alapul, amely a másként való választás munkájától, nehézségétől s veszélyétől is meg akarja kímélni az értelmet és az akaratot, s tehát azt téteti velünk ma, amit már tegnap és százszor tettünk, s amiről tudjuk, hogy céljához vezet."
