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

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?

Devils soonest tempt, resembling spirits of light.

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

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.
