| The Progress of Sin
"Vice first is pleasing; then it grows easily; then delightful; then frequent; then habitual; then confirmed; then the man is impenitent; then he is obstinate; then he resolves never to repent; and then he is damned." Edward Reynolds as quoted by Charles Bridges on Eccl. 8:11
Another related quote from Alexander Whyte's wonderful [i]Bunyan Characters[i]: "There are but three steps, says Butler, from earth to heaven, or , if you will, from earth to hell- acts, habits, character."

Charles Bridges on Proverbs 16:21a, "There is either a superstitious scrupulousness, or a reckless indifference; sometimes conscience about everything, sometimes about nothing. Prudent wisdom gives consistency to the whole system."
