"It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."

-C.S. Lewis

"A silly idea is current that good people don't know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who resist temptation know how bad it is. A man who gives in to temptation after 5 minutes does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That's why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They've lived a sheltered life by always giving in." 

-C.S. Lewis

"While there are steps that we can take in our homes and families to minimize our exposure to [the] unsavory elements of contemporary living, your daughters cannot entirely avoid the blatant sexual messages and enticements that surround them. You need to have frequent, open discussions during which you teach your daughters the truth about these issues."

-M. Russell Ballard

"Satan has a powerful tool to use against good people. It is distraction. He would have good people fill life with good things so there is no room for the essential ones."

-Richard G. Scott
