Temptations, unlike opportunities, will always give you many

Summary

This quote suggests that while opportunities in life may be fleeting and only present themselves once, temptations often provide multiple opportunities to indulge or give in to them. Unlike opportunities that may be missed if not seized in a timely manner, temptations tend to reappear, offering chance after chance to succumb to their allure. It highlights the need for resilience and self-control in resisting temptations, as they can easily entice individuals repeatedly, provoking a constant battle between one's desires and better judgment.
