Devils soonest tempt, resembling spirits of light.

Temptation is the fire that brings up the scum of the heart.

Know'st thou not any whom corrupting gold Will tempt unto a close exploit of death?

'Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.

How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Makes deeds ill done!

Let a man be but in earnest in praying against a temptation as the tempter is in pressing it, and he needs not proceed by a surer measure.
