More quotes by John Tillotson
With the history of Moses no book in the world, in point of antiquity, can contend.
John Tillotson
Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.
John Tillotson
Wickedness is a kind of voluntary frenzy, and a chosen distraction.
John Tillotson
Men sunk in the greatest darkness imaginable retain some sense and awe of the Deity.
John Tillotson

John Tillotson
There is one way whereby we may secure our riches, and make sure friends to ourselves of them,--by laying them out in charity.
John Tillotson

John Tillotson
Integrity gains strength by use.
John Tillotson
The covetous man heaps up riches, not to enjoy them, but to have them and starves himself in the midst of plenty, and most unnaturally cheats and robs himself of that which is his own and makes a hard shift, to be as poor and miserable with a great estate, as any man can be without it.
John Tillotson
To be able to bear provocation is an argument of great reason, and to forgive it of a great mind.
John Tillotson
None so nearly disposed to scoffing at religion as those who have accustomed themselves to swear on trifling occasions.
John Tillotson
When men live as if there were no God, it becomes expedient for them that there should be none.
John Tillotson
There is no readier way for a man to bring his own worth into question than by endeavoring to detract from the worth of other men.
John Tillotson
We have no cause to be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ but the Gospel of Christ may justly be ashamed of us.
John Tillotson
And as for Pleasure, there is little in this World that is true and sincere, besides the Pleasure of doing our Duty, and of doing good.
John Tillotson
There is no man that is knowingly wicked but is guilty to himself and there is no man that carries guilt about him but he receives a sting in his soul.
John Tillotson
Some things will not bear much zeal and the more earnest we are about them, the less we recommend ourselves to the approbation of sober and considerate men.
John Tillotson
Are we proud and passionate, malicious and revengeful? Is this to be like-minded with Christ, who was meek and lowly?
John Tillotson
Every man hath greater assurance that God is good and just than he can have of any subtle speculations about predestination and the decrees of God.
John Tillotson
They who are in the highest places, and have the most power, have the least liberty, because they are the most observed.
John Tillotson
