Prayer is the remedy – JC Ryle
Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins. That sin will never stand firm which is heartily prayed against.

Against sin – Billy Sunday
Listen, I’m against sin. I’ll kick it as long as I’ve got a foot, I’ll fight it as long as I’ve got a fist, I’ll butt it as long as I’ve got a head, and I’ll bite it as long as I’ve got a tooth. And when I’m old, fistless, footless, and toothless, I’ll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.
– Billy Sunday –
