Everything is formed by habit, even praying.

Everything is formed by habit, even praying.
Traditional

Historical period not yet established

Meaning in plain English

Everything including prayer formed by habit gives repeated practice an expansive role. The saying connects even a spiritual activity with routines.

What the words are saying

Everything is an absolute claim rather than a complete account of behaviour or religious experience. A useful reading can consider how repetition shapes a particular practice while allowing reflection, choice and changing circumstances. Habit does not itself prove sincerity or the absence of it.

Everyday example

Someone examines a repeated practice and considers whether it still expresses their intended purpose.

When to use it

Use it to discuss repetition with purpose and exceptions retained.

What it does not mean

No universal behavioural cause or judgment of faith from routine is established.
