More quotes by John Tillotson
Convulsive anger storms at large or pale And silent, settles into full revenge.
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
With the history of Moses no book in the world, in point of antiquity, can contend.
John Tillotson
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.
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
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
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
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
None so nearly disposed to scoffing at religion as those who have accustomed themselves to swear on trifling occasions.
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
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
Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end, carrying us thither in a straight line.
John Tillotson
Wickedness is a kind of voluntary frenzy, and a chosen distraction.
John Tillotson
Was ever any wicked man free from the stings of a guilty conscience?
John Tillotson
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
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
They who are in the highest places, and have the most power, have the least liberty, because they are the most observed.
John Tillotson
Ignorance and inconsideration are the two great causes of the ruin of mankind.
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
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
