Moralists and philosophers have adjudged those who throw temptation in
the way of the erring, equally guilty with those who are thereby led into
evil... There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest
is cowardice. It is easier to stay out than get out. |
Illustration by "Dwig" from Whimlets, 1902 |
....if you wish to confer upon a human being something which he is not sure
he wants, the best way is to make it apparently difficult for him to get--then
he is no son of Adam if that apple does not assume an interest in his eye which
it lacked before.
