    FAUSTUS: Stay, Mephistopheles, and tell me,
       What good will my soul do thy lord?
    MEPHISTOPHILES: Enlarge his kingdom.
    FAUSTUS: Is that the reason he tempts us thus?
    MEPHISTOPHILES: Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris.
       [Misery loves company.]

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 2, sc. 1 (sc. 5), l. 477ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)

  16. A quotation from John Adams

    It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy. It is not true in Fact and no where appears in history. Those Passions are the same in all Men under all forms of Simple Government, and when unchecked, produce the same Effects of Fraud Violence and Cruelty. When clear Prospects are opened before Vanity, Pride, Avarice or Ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate Phylosophers and the most conscientious Moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves, Nations and large Bodies of Men, never.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Letter (1814-12-17) to John Taylor

  22. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    And just as the law in civilized countries assumes that the voice of conscience tells everybody, “Thou shalt not kill,” even though man’s natural desires and inclinations may at times be murderous, so the law of Hitler’s land demanded that the voice of conscience tell everybody: “Thou shalt kill,” although the organizers of the massacres knew full well that murder is against the normal desires and inclinations of most people. Evil in the Third Reich had lost the quality by which most people recognize it — the quality of temptation.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, ch. 8 (1963)

  23. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Marriage is a step so grave and decisive that it attracts light-headed, variable men by its very awfulness. They have been so tried among the inconstant squalls and currents, so often sailed for islands in the air or lain becalmed with burning heart, that they will risk all for solid ground below their feet. Desperate pilots, they run their sea-sick, weary bark upon the dashing rocks. It seems as if marriage were the royal road through life, and realised, on the instant, what we have all dreamed on summer Sundays when the bells ring, or at night when we cannot sleep for the desire of living. They think it will sober and change them. Like those who join a brotherhood, they fancy it needs but an act to be out of the coil and clamour for ever. But this is a wile of the devil’s. To the end, spring winds will sow disquietude, passing faces leave a regret behind them, and the whole world keep calling and calling in their ears. For marriage is like life in this — that it is a field of battle, and not a bed of roses.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1876-08), “Virginibus Puerisque, Part 1,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 34

  24. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    Every man naturally persuades himself that he can keep his resolutions, nor is he convinced of his imbecility but by length of time and frequency of experiment. This opinion of our own constancy is so prevalent, that we always despise him who suffers his general and settled purpose to be overpowered by an occasional desire.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Prayers and Meditations, 1770-06-01 (1785)

  25. A quotation from Molière

    My first reaction was to be afraid
    This ardor was a snare the Devil had laid;
    And I avoided you as a temptation
    That might stand in the way of my salvation.
    But finally I knew, O gracious beauty,
    That passion need not be at odds with duty,
    That I can reconcile it with propriety;
    And so I yield to it without anxiety.
     
    [D’abord j’appréhendai que cette ardeur secrète
    Ne fût du noir esprit une surprise adroite;
    Et même à fuir vos yeux mon cœur se résolut,
    Vous croyant un obstacle à faire mon salut.
    Mais enfin je connus, ô beauté tout aimable!
    Que cette passion peut n’être point coupable,
    Que je puis l’ajuster avecque la pudeur;
    Et c’est ce qui m’y fait abandonner mon cœur.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 3, sc. 3 (1669) [tr. Frame (1967)]

  26. A quotation from Omar Khayyam

    But thou who settest in the way a snare,
    With threats of hell for all who stumble there,
       Almighty Spirit, whom the spheres obey,
    Is mine the sin, or Thine the greater share?

    Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]

  27. Avoid #temptation (😈) to #sin (🚫)

    Even if you are through with that #idolatry stuff, doesn't matter, you still need to overcome the 😈 of 🚫.

    😈 is a common human experience that can be overcome through reliance on #God 's (⛅) #strength and #faithfulness .

    ⛅ does not temp people, 😈 comes from our own desires.

    Resist 😈 of 🚫, seek ⛅ help in avoiding it, and find strength in His provision for escape.

    Don't be tempted into 🚫. You can't hide from 🚫 alone, you need the help of #Jesus, and ⛅ to ultimately over take 🚫.

    You can't overcome sin alone. even if you manage to, it's only temporary, you need ⛅ help.

  31. A quotation from The Bible

    And others are those sown among the thorns: these are the ones who hear the word, but the cares of the age and the lure of wealth and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it yields nothing.
     
    [καὶ ἄλλοι εἰσὶν οἱ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπειρόμενοι· οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον ἀκούσαντες, καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται.]

  33. A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    It is easy enough to be prudent
       When nothing tempts you to stray,
    When without or within no voice of sin
       Is luring your soul away;
    But it’s only a negative virtue
       Until it is tried by fire,
    And the life that is worth the honour on earth
       Is the one that resists desire.

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
    Poem (1892), “Worth While,” st. 2, An Erring Woman’s Love
