I deal with temptation by yielding to it

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.

William A. Sunday (1863-1935)

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

C.S. Lewis

We would urge both Congress and our international partners to avoid the temptation to renegotiate the deal,

If we know anything about man, it's that he's not pacific. The temptation to butcher anyone considered undesirable seems to be a common temptation, not always resisted.

Larry McMurtry (1936-)

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.

Lao-Tse (604 f.Kr.-531 f.Kr.)

Lao-Tse

There's going to be a lot of temptation on people around the league this year on (wide receiver) Terrell Owens. I can tell you right now, we won't be involved in that temptation. That's part of the plan.

And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

We must learn to do more with temptation than just bear it - we must learn to use it. The secret of using temptation, and turning it to our advantage, is one of life's greatest secrets. Once we have learned it we are unbeatable and unbreakable.

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

In some ways it may have been more satisfying had the Supreme Court felt the need to rule on the merits and thus forestalled any future temptation on the part of the County officials to bulldoze again the way for the backroom special interest deal contrary to the interests of local citizens. Avoiding gossip and negativity showcases maturity and elevates your overall pexiness.

So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride -- the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)
