Tempt Quotations
I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me. George Bernard Shaw When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven't developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urges that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habit and don't know how to eliminate them effectively. W. Clement Stone You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer. Pablo Picasso There are powerful emotions that bring two people together in wonderful harmony in a marriage. Satan knows this, and would tempt you to try these emotions outside of marriage. Do not stir emotions meant to be used only in marriage. Richard G. Scott Bill Mitchell said he really liked it. But when he asked the other four their opinions, we all took one look at ourselves in our raggedy long winter coats and cracked up. We knew we weren't likely to tempt anyone or anything, but what the hell, it was as good a name as any. Otis Williams |
