Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.
|
Buddha
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
|
C.S. Lewis
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.

Charlotte Dacre, The Passions, 1811
There is no allurement or enticement, actual or imaginary, which a well-disciplined mind may not surmount. The wish to resist more than half accomplishes the object.

Franklin P. Jones
What makes resisting temptation difficult for many people is they don't want to discourage it completely.
|
Franklin P. Jones
Nothing makes it easier to resist temptation than a proper bringing-up, a sound set of values - and witnesses.

Jim Carrey, from a Michael Fleming interview in the March 2004 issue of Playboy magazine
Go ahead and squander your chi. But I guarantee you heaven isn't in Miss March's pussy.... Heaven is on the other side of that feeling you get when you're sitting on the couch and you get up and make a triple-decker sandwich. It's on the other side of that, when you don't make the sandwich. It's about sacrifice.... It's about giving up the things that basically keep you from feeling. That's what I believe, anyway. I'm always asking, What am I going to give up next? Because I want to feel.

Korman's Law
The trouble with resisting temptation is it may never come your way again.
|
Lane Olinghouse
Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address.
