Contemplation: principles and habits?

[StarStruck]

Definition: principles

A fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behaviour or for a chain of reasoning.

 

Definition: habits

A settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.

 

Are principles and habits just the same thing but it is just in different circumstances? I feel like "habit" is a broader term and "principle" is a narrower term...

I could be wrong but when we say habit it feels like closer to the basic human: everybody has habits good or bad....while the term principles is used for more developed humans: not everybody has principles.
