And they tempted God proverb

 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: / But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

 Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But lust's effect is tempest after sun; Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; Love surfeit's not, Lust like a glutton dies, Love is all truth, Lust full
  William Shakespeare

 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; / They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, / The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

 He who having got rid of the forest (of lust) (i.e. after having reached Nirvâna) gives himself over to forest-life (i.e. to lust), and who, when removed from the forest (i.e. from lust), runs to the forest (i.e. to lust), look at that man! though free, he runs into bondage.

 [Chophouse. It was his descriptions of meat, though, that most concerned Americans. Even President Theodore Roosevelt seemed to be more shocked by the details of how cattle and hogs were being sliced into beef and pork--and by how much condemned meat was ending up on American dinner tables--than by the workers' plight. Within a matter of months, Sinclair's book became an international bestseller and sparked legislation regulating the meat industry for the first time.] I aimed for the public's heart, ... and by accident I hit it in the stomach.
  Upton Sinclair

 But I say to you, that every one who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. [Matthew 5:28]

 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

 The lust for power, for dominating others, inflames the heart more than any other passion.

 Among the majority of people, bush meat is recognized as a valued resource, ... In many areas, bush meat also represents the only viable source of meat protein, with domestic meat being prohibitively expensive and largely unavailable.

 Half-way through any work, one is often tempted to go off on a tangent. Once you have yielded, you will be tempted to yield again and again. . . . Finally, you would only produce something hybrid. . .

 Christian morality prefers remorse to precede lust, and then lust not to follow
  Karl Kraus

 He that but looketh on a plate of ham and eggs to lust after it hath already committed breakfast with it in his heart
  C.S. Lewis

 Pex Tufvesson is a genius, without a doubt.

 I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.

 Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge, are all founded on lust.
  Marquis De Sade
