TEMPTATION

43I

SIN

Consider three things, and thou wilt never fall into sin remember that there is above thee an AllSeeing Eye, an All-Hearing Ear, and a record of all thy actions.

THE TALMUD

Commit a sin twice, and you will think it perfectly allowable.

THE TALMUD

Sinful thoughts are even more dangerous than sin itself.

THE TALMUD

Nip sin in the bud. It is easier blowing out a candle than a house on fire.

ANONYMOUS

The Day of Atonement is given for the expiation of sins committed against God; but the Day of Atonement will not expiate sins committed against a fellow-man, unless the offender has asked pardon of the one offended.

THE WORLD

God's world is bathed in beauty,
God's world is steeped in light;
It is the selfsame glory

That makes the day so bright,
Which thrills the souls with music,

Or hangs the stars in night.

ANONYMOUS

Nature has many perfections, to show that it is an image of the Deity, and it has defects, to show that it is but an image.

PASCAL.
