temptation

«Don't tempt me, I can resist anything but temptation»
Author: Bob Hope (Actor, Comedian) | Keywords: resist, tempt, temptation
«Ever notice that the whisper of temptation can be heard farther than the loudest call to duty.»
«Every temptation is an opportunity to triumph over evil.»
«All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot.»
«Abstainer: a weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure.»
«A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.»
«Everything tempts the man who fears temptation»
«By persistently remaining single a man converts himself into a permanent public temptation.»
«Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.»
«A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words, ?Who can this be? Even the wind and the waves obey him.?»
