“Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it.” -Horace Mann

This quote is attributed to Horace Mann (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Mann).

As such, Horace Mann has got the formation of habit down to a near perfect explanation. The cable can be related to the firing of neurons in the brain. Each repetition of an action produces another neuron pathway and the strengthening of the action and hence the habit.
