Timothy Shay Arthur quotes

No substance in nature, as far as yet known, has, when it reaches the brain, such power to induce mental and moral changes of a disastrous character as alcohol. Its transforming power is marvelous, and often appalling. It seems to open a way of entrance into the soul for all classes of foolish, insane or malignant spirits, who, so long as it remains in contact with the brain, are able to hold possession. (Timothy Shay Arthur)

How vastly important is it, then, for mothers to have a higher regard for their duties-to feel deeply the immense responsibilities that rest upon them! It is through their ministrations that the world grows worse or better.

Timothy Shay Arthur

The gratification of one desire only makes way for another still more exacting.
