More quotes by 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
For the spiritual efficacy of the Sacrament doth not depend upon the nature of the thing received, supposing we received what our Lord appointed, and receive it with a right preparation and disposition of mind, but upon the supernatural blessing that goes along with it, and makes it effectual to those spiritual ends for which it was appointed.
John Tillotson
How often might a man, after he had jumbled a set of letters in a bag, fling them out upon the ground before they would fall into an exact poem, yea, or so much as make a good discourse in prose? And may not a little book be as easily made by chance as this great volume of the world?
John Tillotson

John Tillotson
With the history of Moses no book in the world, in point of antiquity, can contend.
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
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
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
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
When men live as if there were no God, it becomes expedient for them that there should be none.
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
Sincerity is like traveling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose themselves.
John Tillotson
Convulsive anger storms at large or pale And silent, settles into full revenge.
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
