Consuetudes

It is right that we should look before we leap, but it is gross misconduct to neglect duty to conform to the consuetudes of the hour. ❋ Rupert H. Wheldon (N/A)

Late, —very late, —we perceive that no arrangements, no introductions, no consuetudes or habits of society would be of any avail to establish us in such relations with them as we desire, —but solely the uprise of nature in us to the same degree it is in them: then shall we meet as water with water: and if we should not meet them then, we shall not want them, for we are already they. ❋ Unknown (1909)

Let us suck the sweetness of those affections and consuetudes [688] that grow near us. ❋ Ralph Waldo Emerson (1842)
