All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.

Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.

Our nature lies in movement; complete calm is death.

We never love a person, but only qualities.

I bring you the gift of these four words: I believe in you.

Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would amount to the same.

There is a lot of difference between tempting and leading into error. God tempts but does not lead into error. To tempt is to provide opportunities for us to do certain things if we do not love God, but putting us under no necessity to do so. To lead into error is to compel a man necessarily to conclude and follow a falsehood.
