Affliction is a school of virtue; it corrects levity, and interrupts the confidence of sinning.
Francis Atterbury Quotes
The greater absurdities are, the more strongly they evince the falsity of that supposition from whence they flow.

About
Francis Atterbury was an English man of letters, politician, and bishop. A High Church Tory and Jacobite, he gained patronage under Queen Anne, but was mistrusted by the Hanoverian Whig ministries, and banished for communicating with the Old Pretender. He was a noted wit and a gifted preacher, but lacked the intellect to win key polemical debates.
