Sinfulness Quotes (page 25)

Ayn Rand quote: "I think it's a sin to sit down and let your life go without..."
I think it's a sin to sit down and let your life go without making a try for it. Ayn Rand
Not even to herself dare she blame Helen. She could not assess her trespass by any moral code; it was everything or nothing. Morality can tell us that murder is worse than stealing, and group most sins in an order all must approve, but it cannot group Helen. The surer its pronouncements on this point, the surer may we be that morality is not speaking. Christ was evasive when they questioned Him. It is those that cannot connect who hasten to cast the first stone. E. M. Forster
Suicide, is a persons privilege. I don't believe it's a sin or a crime it's your right if you do. Though it doesn't get you anywhere. Marilyn Monroe
In fact I believe that one day a reappraiser will come and declare that, far from having been a frivolous firebird, I was a rigid moralist: kicking sin, cuffing stupidity, ridiculing the vulgar and cruel—and assigning sovereign power to tenderness, talent and pride. Vladimir Nabokov
I am of a different mind ten times in the course of a day. But I resist the devil, and often it is with a fart that I chase him away. When he tempts me with silly sins I say, 'Devil, yesterday I broke wind too. Have you written it down on your list? Martin Luther
Mario Puzo quote: "Oh, what a wicked world it is that drives a man to sin."
Oh, what a wicked world it is that drives a man to sin. Mario Puzo
..and certain that life consisted of a few simple signals and decisions; that death took root at the moment of birth and man’s only recourse thereafter was to water and tend it; that propagation was a fiction; consequently, society was a fiction too; that fathers and teachers, by virtue of being fathers and teachers, were guilty of a grievous sin. Yukio Mishima
No man treats a motorcar as foolishly as he treats another human being. When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin; he does not say, 'You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go.' He attempts to find out what is wrong and to set it right. Bertrand Russell
A. J. Jacobs quote: "In trying to avoid one sin I've committed another."
In trying to avoid one sin I've committed another. A. J. Jacobs
Margaret Weis quote: "I have sinned enough against the world. Teaching magic to a..."
I have sinned enough against the world. Teaching magic to a kender would ensure my damnation. Margaret Weis
In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes, For they in thee a thousand errors note; But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise, Who in despite of view is pleased to dote; Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted, Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone, Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited To any sensual feast* with thee alone*: But my five wits* nor my five senses can Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee, Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man*, Thy proud... William Shakespeare
Vice may triumph for a time, crime may flaunt its victories in the face of honest toilers, but in the end the law will follow the wrong-doer to a bitter fate, and dishonor and punishment will be the portion of those who sin. Allan Pinkerton
Liberation from the tyranny of the body contributes to greatness, but just as much to greatness in sin as to greatness in virtue. Bertrand Russell
The good repent on knowing their sin; the evil become angry when discovered. Ignorance is not the cause of evil, as Plato held; neither is education the answer to the removal of evil. These men had an intellect as well as a will; knowledge as well as intention. Truth can be known and hated; Goodness can be known and crucified. The Hour was approaching, and for the moment the fear of the people deterred the Pharisees. Violence could not be triggered against Him until He would say, 'This is... Fulton J. Sheen
Billy Sunday quote: "One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream..."
One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake. Billy Sunday
