Temptations, when we first meet them, are like a lion that roared at Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them. – John Bunyan
When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart. – John Bunyan
My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. – John Bunyan
Nothing can render affliction so insupportable as the load of sin. Would you then be fitted for afflictions? Be sure to get the burden of your sins laid aside, and then what affliction soever you may meet with will be very easy to you. – John Bunyan
Never underestimate the power of temptation to disarm your better senses. Throughout the ages good people surrendered their honor for the empty promise that wealth or power would bring fulfillment and their dignity, good name and self-esteem for the passing pleasures of sex and drugs. – Michael Josephson
