Sins Not Quotes

My friends, ask gladness from God. Be glad as children, as birds in the sky. And let man's sin not disturb you in your efforts, do not feat that it will dampen your endeavor and keep it from being fulfilled, do not say, "Sin is strong, impiety is strong, the bad environment is strong, and we are lonely and powerless, the bad environment will dampen us and keep our good endeavor from being fulfilled." Flee from such despondency, my children! There is only one salvation for you: take... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Saint Augustine quote: "To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be..."
To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it. Saint Augustine
John Ruskin quote: "He that would be angry and sin not, must not be angry with..."
He that would be angry and sin not, must not be angry with anything but sin. John Ruskin
We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, but also because we have not yet eaten of the Tree of Life. The state in which we are is sinful, irrespective of guilt. Franz Kafka
Judge yourself; if you do that you will not be judged by God, as St. Paul says. But it must be a real sense of your own sinfulness, not an artificial humility. Johannes Tauler
It would hardly be kindness if he didn't punish sin, not to use every means to put the evil thing far from us. Whatever may be meant by the place of misery Mr. Sutherland, it's only another form of his love. Love shining through the fogs of evil, and thus made to look very different. George MacDonald
John Piper quote: "We should waken to the truth that it is a treacherous sin not..."

Jose Marti quote: "It is a sin not to do what one is capable of doing."
It is a sin not to do what one is capable of doing. Jose Marti
Sin does not only still abide in us, but is still acting, still laboring to bring forth the deeds of the flesh. When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone; but as sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be the most quiet, and its waters are for the most part deep when they are still, so ought our contrivances against it be vigorous at all times and in all conditions, even where there is least suspicion. John Owen
Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful -- just stupid.) Robert A. Heinlein
Sin, he reflected, is not what it is usually thought to be; it is not to steal and tell lies. Sin is for one man to walk brutally over the life of another and to be quite oblivious of the wounds he has left behind. Shusaku Endo
Sin has always been an ugly word, but it has been made so in a new sense over the last half-century. It has been made not only ugly but pass. People are no longer sinful, they are only immature or underprivileged or frightened or, more particularly, sick. Phyllis McGinley
Joseph Prince quote: "Sin does not stop God's grace from flowing, but God's grace..."
Sin does not stop God's grace from flowing, but God's grace will stop sin. Joseph Prince
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
