Quotemeal for Saturday, May 10, 1958

"Only he who flings himself upward when the pull comes to drag him down, can hope to break the force of temptation.

At the moment of temptation, sin and righteousness are both very near the Christian; but, of the two, the latter is the nearer."

— Charles H. Brent
