John TillotsonThinkers

Abstinence is many times very helpful to the end of religion.

Fear is that passion which hath the greatest power over us, and by which God and His laws take the surest hold of us.

Sincerity is to speak as we think, to do as we pretend and profess, to perform and make good what we promise, and really to be what we would seem and appear to be.

Wickedness is a kind of voluntary frenzy, and a chosen distraction.
