Tempts

Famous quotes containing the word tempts:

“There is a lot of difference between tempting and leading into error. God tempts but does not lead into error. To tempt is to provide opportunities for us to do certain things if we do not love God, but putting us under no necessity to do so. To lead into error is to compel a man necessarily to conclude and follow a falsehood.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“One of the evils of money is that it tempts us to look at it rather than at the things that it buys.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

“Not all that tempts your wand’ring eyes
And heedless hearts, is lawful prize;
Nor all that glisters, gold.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
