More quotes by 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
Was ever any wicked man free from the stings of a guilty conscience?
John Tillotson
Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.
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
Wickedness is a kind of voluntary frenzy, and a chosen distraction.
John Tillotson
Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end, carrying us thither in a straight line.
John Tillotson

John Tillotson
If God were not a necessary Being of Himself, He might almost seem to be made for the use and benefit of men.
John Tillotson

John Tillotson

John Tillotson
If people would but provide for eternity with the same solicitude and real care as they do for this life, they could not fail of heaven.
John Tillotson
Wealth and riches, that is, an estate above what sufficeth our real occasions and necessities, is in no other sense a 'blessing' than as it is an opportunity put into our hands, by the providence of God, of doing more good.
John Tillotson
None so nearly disposed to scoffing at religion as those who have accustomed themselves to swear on trifling occasions.
John Tillotson
Men sunk in the greatest darkness imaginable retain some sense and awe of the Deity.
John Tillotson
If our souls be immortal, this makes amends for the frailties of life and the sufferings of this state.
John Tillotson
Of some calamity we can have no relief but from God alone and what would men do, in such a case if it were not for God?
John Tillotson
Religion in a magistrate strengthens his authority, because it procures veneration, and gains a reputation to it. In all the affairs of this world, so much reputation is in reality so much power.
John Tillotson
If the show of any thing be good for any thing, I am sure sincerity is better for why does any man dissemble, or seem to be that which he is not, but because he thinks it good to have such a quality as he pretends to?
John Tillotson
Is not he imprudent, who, seeing the tide making haste towards him apace, will sleep till the sea overwhelms him?
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
