The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.

I can resist everything except temptation.

I can resist anything except temptation.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.

For nothing [...] is more heavenly than to resist and to yield; to yield and to resist.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also.
