William Ralph IngeIf we feel that any habit or pursuit, harmless in itself, is keeping us from God and sinking us deeper in the things of earth; if we find that things which others can do with impunity are for us the occasion of falling, then abstinence is our only course.

It is necessary that we should steadily resolve to give up anything that comes between ourselves and God.
