Best Quotes about Temptation
Why comes temptation, but for man to meet and master and crouch beneath his foot, and so be pedestaled in triumph?
Robert Browning
Most dangerous Is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue
Shakespeare, William
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
T. S. Eliot
The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.
Bradley, Francis H.

Bunting, Basil
Remove the temptation of idleness and cupids bow is useless.
Ovid

Battista, Orlando A.

W. N. Taylor
Often the best way to overcome desire is to satisfy it.
W. Somerset Maugham
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.
Oscar Wilde
Temptations, when we first meet them, are like a lion that roared at Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.
Bunyan, John
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.
Bible

Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

Hope, Anthony

Galeano, Eduardo
I can resist anything but temptation.
Oscar Wilde
Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive believer can be seen to risk the torments of the afterlife for the smallest pleasure.
Maistre, Joseph De
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
Kempis, Thomas
I never resist temptation because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.
George Bernard Shaw
There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice.
Mark Twain
The most successful tempters and thus the most dangerous are the deluded deluders.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
Mae West

Oliphant, Margaret
Temptation is a woman's weapon and man's excuse.
Mencken, H. L.
How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Thy Word. Thy Word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee. [Psalms 119:9-11]
Bible

Herold, Don

Lane Olinghouse
