The place to start controlling the cravings of our physical appetites is to reduce our exposure to temptation.

Satan, whose very first act toward man was to question the goodness of God, will even plant the thought in our minds that God is up in heaven mocking us in our distress.

My own experience suggests that Satan attacks us far more in the area of God's love than either His sovereignty or His wisdom.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

It must be most dangerous then to be a man. It is indeed, madame, and but few survive it.

All supposed exterior signs of danger that a bull gives, such as pawing the ground, threatening with his horns, or bellowing are forms of bluffing. They are warnings given in order that combat may be avoided if possible. The truly brave bull gives no warning before he charges except the fixing of his eye on the enemy, the raising of the crest of muscle in his neck, the twitching of an ear, and, as he charges, the lifting of his tail.

We are governed by what you find in the bottom of dead beer glasses that whores have dunked their cigarettes in. The place has not even been swept out yet and they have an amateur pianist beating on the box

O Lord, to comfort myself as a man tomorrow in the day of battle.

Black flies, no-see-ums, deer flies, gnats and mosquitoes were instituted by the devil to force people to live in cities where he could get at them better. If it weren't for them everybody would live in the bush and he would be out of work. It was a rather successful invention.

It is not enough to recognize what is right and true. One must control the impulse to do what is wrong and easy.

Lord, help us to see trouble coming long before it gets here. And give us the wisdom to know what to do and the courage to do it.

One of Satan's most deceptive and powerful ways of defeating us is to get us to believe a lie. And the biggest lie is that there are no consequences to our own doing. Satan will give you whatever you ask for if it will lead you where he ultimately wants you.
