{{Vatican Saying 46}}

== Analysis ==

A deftly phrased simile: bad habits are like bad people; as the latter can do us great harm, and over a long period of time, so can the former. It is therefore a salubrious resolution to "chase away" all those bad habits, out of our lives, as we would have shunned wicked people who have damaged us.

Analysis

==

A 


edit  

deftly 


edit  

phrased 


edit  

simile: 


edit  

bad 


edit  

habits 


edit  

are 


edit  

like 


edit  

bad 


edit  

people; 


edit  

as 


edit  

the 


edit  

latter 


edit  

can 


edit  

do 


edit  

us 


edit  

great 


edit  

harm, 


edit  

and 


edit  

over 


edit  

a 


edit  

long 


edit  

period 


edit  

of 


edit  

time, 


edit  

so 


edit  

can 


edit  

the 


edit  

former. 


edit  

It 


edit  

is 


edit  

therefore 


edit  

a 


edit  

salubrious 


edit  

resolution 


edit  

to 


edit  

"chase 


edit  

away" 


edit  

all 


edit  

those 


edit  

bad 


edit  

habits, 


edit  

out 


edit  

of 


edit  

our 


edit  

lives, 


edit  

as 


edit  

we 


edit  

would 


edit  

have 


edit  

shunned 


edit  

wicked 


edit  

people 


edit  

who 


edit  

have 


edit  

damaged 


edit  

us.
