John Tillotson
Image
Was ever any wicked man free from the stings of a guilty conscience?
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
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
If our souls be immortal, this makes amends for the frailties of life and the sufferings of this state.
John Tillotson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When a man has once forfeited the reputation of his integrity, he is set fast, and nothing will then serve his turn, neither truth nor falsehood.
John Tillotson
Image
Is not he imprudent, who, seeing the tide making haste towards him apace, will sleep till the sea overwhelms him?
John Tillotson
Image
To be able to bear provocation is an argument of great reason, and to forgive it of a great mind.
