Tempt Quotes

Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates.

Virtue is a habit long continued. The taming of desire is like the training of the athlete. Discipline is not the restraint but the use of energy... When I forbid myself what I may have, no person is going to tempt me with what is truly forbidden Picture Quote #1
