Ever notice that the whisper of temptation can be heard farther than the loudest call to duty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Only when the voice of duty is silent, or when it has already spoken, may we allowably think of the consequences of a particular action.
It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny.
None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.
Those who operate through the Holy Spirit are more equipped to resist temptation.
The two most precious things this side of the grave are our reputation and our life. But it is to be lamented that the most contemptible whisper may deprive us of the one, and the weakest weapon of the other.
Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.
The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.
Every moment of resistance to temptation is a victory.
Nothing makes it easier to resist temptation than a proper bringing-up, a sound set of values - and witnesses.
