TEMPTATION

It is good to be without vices,
but it is not good to be without temptations.
Walter Bagehot

The last temptation is the greatest treason:
To do the right deed - for the wrong reason.
Thomas Stearns Eliot - Murder in the Cathedral

The only way to get rid of a temptation
is to yield to it.
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde

My temptation is quiet. Here at life's end
Neither loose imagination, Nor the mill of the mind
Consuming its rag and bone, Can make the truth known
William Butler Yeats - An Acre of Grass
