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
Of all parts of wisdom the practice is the best.
John Tillotson
Image
In all the affairs of this world, so much reputation is in reality so much power.
John Tillotson
Image
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
Image
Men sunk in the greatest darkness imaginable retain some sense and awe of the Deity.
John Tillotson
Image
None so nearly disposed to scoffing at religion as those who have accustomed themselves to swear on trifling occasions.
John Tillotson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The true ground of most men's prejudice against the Christian doctrine is because they have no mind to obey it.
