Temperance and Righteousness
[2 quotes owing to each one's brevity]
Do not drown yourself because you are recommended to bathe, or hang yourself on an oak because tannin is described as a valuable astringent. An allowable thing carried to excess is a vice,
even as fire is a good servant in the grate, but a bad master when raging in a burning house.
—Charles Spurgeon
We are justified and saved by the very righteousness of Christ, and no other. He wrought it, though we wear it.
—John Flavel
