More quotes by 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
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
Was ever any wicked man free from the stings of a guilty conscience?
John Tillotson
Next to the wicked lives of men, nothing is so great a disparagement and weakening to religion as the divisions of Christians.
John Tillotson
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
There are two restraints which God has laid upon human nature, shame and fear shame is the weaker, and has place only in those in whom there are some reminders of virtue.
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
Are we proud and passionate, malicious and revengeful? Is this to be like-minded with Christ, who was meek and lowly?
John Tillotson
Integrity gains strength by use.
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
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
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 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
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
The true ground of most men's prejudice against the Christian doctrine is because they have no mind to obey it.
John Tillotson
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
When men live as if there were no God, it becomes expedient for them that there should be none.
John Tillotson
Wickedness is a kind of voluntary frenzy, and a chosen distraction.
John Tillotson
Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.
John Tillotson
The gospel chargeth us with piety towards God, and justice and charity to men, and temperance and chastity in reference to ourselves.
John Tillotson
