“There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.”— Mark Twain Related Quotes “The modern skeptical world has been taught for some 200 years a conception of human nature in which the reality of evil, so well-known to the age of faith, has been discounted. Almost all of us grew up in an environment of such easy optimism that we can scarcely know what is meant, though our ancestors knew it well, by the satanic will. We shall have to recover this forgotten but essential truth ? along with so many others that we lost when, thinking we were enlightened and advanced, we were merely shallow and blind.”— Walter Lippmann “It’s the small sins that save you. That’s how you survive when all around you are getting their heads sawed off.”— Robert Ferrigno “Above all sins, guard against bold or arrogant ones. You are not beyond the danger of such. If caught in the web of presumptuous sin, call quickly to God for help. If you hesitate, you only give Satan time to entangle you more tightly. But if you cry out to God in true repentance, He will come at once to rescue you. The sooner you yield to the Spirit, the less damage is done to your soul.”— William Gurnall
