More quotes by John Tillotson
Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end, carrying us thither in a straight line.
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
Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.
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
None so nearly disposed to scoffing at religion as those who have accustomed themselves to swear on trifling occasions.
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
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
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
Are we proud and passionate, malicious and revengeful? Is this to be like-minded with Christ, who was meek and lowly?
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
Men sunk in the greatest darkness imaginable retain some sense and awe of the Deity.
John Tillotson
The true ground of most men's prejudice against the Christian doctrine is because they have no mind to obey it.
John Tillotson
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
Convulsive anger storms at large or pale And silent, settles into full revenge.
John Tillotson
Ignorance and inconsideration are the two great causes of the ruin of mankind.
John Tillotson
Integrity gains strength by use.
John Tillotson
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
They who are in the highest places, and have the most power, have the least liberty, because they are the most observed.
John Tillotson
In all the affairs of this world, so much reputation is in reality so much power.
John Tillotson
Some things will not bear much zeal and the more earnest we are about them, the less we recommend ourselves to the approbation of sober and considerate men.
John Tillotson
