We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.

We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.

The most successful tempters and thus the most dangerous are the deluded deluders.

Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive believer can be seen to risk the torments of the afterlife for the smallest pleasure.

Temptation is a woman's weapon and man's excuse.

Taste this, and be henceforth among the Gods thyself a Goddess.

Temptations come, as a general rule, when they are sought.

I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
