Image
Are we proud and passionate, malicious and revengeful? Is this to be like-minded with Christ, who was meek and lowly?
John Tillotson
Image
When men live as if there were no God, it becomes expedient for them that there should be none.
John Tillotson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When we have practiced good actions awhile, they become easy when they are easy, we take pleasure in them when they please us, we do them frequently and then, by frequency of act, they grow into a habit.
John Tillotson

John Tillotson
Image
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
Image
Convulsive anger storms at large or pale And silent, settles into full revenge.
John Tillotson
Image
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
Image
Next to the wicked lives of men, nothing is so great a disparagement and weakening to religion as the divisions of Christians.
John Tillotson
Image
They who are in the highest places, and have the most power, have the least liberty, because they are the most observed.
John Tillotson
Image
Wickedness is a kind of voluntary frenzy, and a chosen distraction.
John Tillotson
Image
The true ground of most men's prejudice against the Christian doctrine is because they have no mind to obey it.
John Tillotson
Image
True wisdom is a thing very extraordinary. Happy are they that have it: and next to them, not those many that think they have it, but those few that are sensible of their own defects and imperfections, and know that they have it not.
John Tillotson
Image
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.
