A good word is an easy obligation; but not to speak ill requires only our silence, which costs us nothing.
John TillotsonWhether religion be true or false, it must be necessarily granted to be the only wise principle and safe hypothesis for a man to live and die by.
John TillotsonIf God were not a necessary Being of Himself, He might almost seem to be made for the use and benefit of men.
John TillotsonEven so does he who provides for the short time of this life, but takes no care for all eternity; which is to be wise for a moment, but a fool for ever; and to act as crossly to the reason of things as can be imagined; to regard time as if it were eternity, and to neglect eternity as if it were but a short time.
