Francis Quarles
O lust, thou infernal fire, whose fuel is gluttony; whose flame is pride, whose sparkles are wanton words; whose smoke is infamy; whose ashes are uncleanness; whose end is hell.

More From Francis Quarles

Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.
Jesus Art Children
O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

He makes his ministers a flame of fire. am i ignitible? god deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things.' saturate me with the oil of the spirit that i may be aflame. but flame is transient, often short lived. canst thou bear this, my soul - short life? ... make me thy fuel, flame of god.

Three of the four elements are shared by all creatures, but fire was a gift to humans alone. smoking cigarettes is as intimate as we can become with fire without immediate excruciation. every smoker is an embodiment of prometheus, stealing fire from the gods and bringing it on back home. we smoke to capture the power of the sun, to pacify hell, to identify with the primordial spark, to feed on the marrow of the volcano. it’s not the tobacco we’re after but the fire. when we smoke, we are performing a version of the fire dance, a ritual as ancient as lightning.

The moth don't care when he sees the flame he might get burned, but he's in the game and once he's in, he can't go back he'll beat his wings till he burns them black no, the moth don't care when he sees the flame the moth don't care if the flame is real 'cause flame and moth got a sweetheart deal and nothing fuels a good flirtation like need and anger and desperation no, the moth don't care if the flame is real.

Food can be utilized for economic reasons, like the grain embargo of carter 40 years ago. you have a political decision, you are going to move the flow of food in a part of the world and not another part of the world. and certainly now, with the way the country is polarized and all that, you wouldn't want to have a french menu, with a french thing - you'd be crucified! or anything like that. you have to be a real american and apple pie and this and that.
