Fear is that passion which hath the greatest power over us, and by which God and His laws take the surest hold of us.
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 TillotsonHe who is sincere hath the easiest task in the world, for, truth being always consistent with itself, he is put to no trouble about his words and actions; it is like traveling in a plain road, which is sure to bring you to your journey's end better than byways in which many lose themselves.
John TillotsonTruth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to help it out. It is always near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware; whereas a lie is troublesome, and sets a man's invention upon the rack; and one trick needs a great many more to make it good.
