en Prosperity doth best discover vice, but Adversity doth best discover virtue
  Francis Bacon, Sr.

en Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? / When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? / For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

en Many a dangerous temptation comes to us in gay, fine colours, that are but skin-deep.

en 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....

They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.
  C.S. Lewis

en We should every night call ourselves to an account: what infirmity have I mastered to-day? what passions opposed? what temptation resisted? what virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift. Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo scene.
  Lucius Annaeus Seneca

  Edmund Spenser

en Villiany wears many masks, non so dangerous as the mask of virtue.
