“Though sins of thought are not so bad as sins of act, for they can still be repented of, yet to nurse a sin in thought is to make it easy to commit in act. Cherish hate, and you know not when you may be swept into murder. Cherish any guilt in thought, and one touch sets the repressed waters into a headlong torrent of act. Care, then, for your thoughts, and the acts will take care of themselves.”
STOPFORD BROOKE
“Every man is open to commit the fault of which he is least capable.”
G. MACDONALD
“Sins of surprise have given rise to the remark that almost every great saint in the Bible is recorded to have fallen into the very sin from which his character seemed likely to guard him.”
Bishop TEMPLE
