Sins Not Quotes (page 4)

Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth,..."
There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth, which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Fyodor Dostoevsky
I understand solidarity in sin among men; solidarity in retribution I also understand; but what solidarity in sin do little children have? ...And if the suffering of children goes to make up the sum of suffering needed to buy truth, then I assert beforehand that the whole of truth is not worth such a price. Fyodor Dostoevsky
The creation of man whom God in his foreknowledge knew doomed to sin was the awful index of God's omnipotence. For it would have been a thing of trifling and contemptible ease for Perfection to create mere perfection. To do so would, to speak truth, be not creation but extension. Separateness is identity and the only way for God to create, truly create, man was to make him separate from God Himself, and to be separate from God is to be sinful. The creation of evil is therefore the index of... Robert Penn Warren
It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone. We have broken the laws. The laws say that men may not write unless the Council of Vocations bid them so. May we be forgiven! Ayn Rand
Never in her life? she could swear it from the bottom of her soul? had she ever intended to do wrong; yet these hard judgments had come. Whatever her sins, they were not sins of intention, but of inadvertence, and why should she have been punished so persistently? Thomas Hardy
If you are penitent, you love. And if you love you are of God. All things are atoned for, all things are saved by love...Love is such a priceless treasure that you can redeem the whole world by it, and expiate not only your own sins but the sins of others. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "It is not your sin - it is your moderation that cries to..."
It is not your sin - it is your moderation that cries to heaven; your very sparingness in sin cries to heaven! Friedrich Nietzsche
You can rake the muck this way, rake the muck that way-- it will always be muck. Have I sinned or have I not sinned? In the time I am brooding over it, I could be stringing pearls for the delight of Heaven Martin Buber
If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. Victor Hugo
Mr. Blatchford attacks Christianity because he is mad on one Christian virtue: the merely mystical and almost irrational virtue of charity. He has a strange idea that he will make it easier to forgive sins by saying that there are no sins to forgive. Mr. Blatchford is not only an early Christian, he is the only early Christian who really ought to have been eaten by lions. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Ernest Hemingway quote: "Do not think about sin, he thought. There are enough problems..."
Do not think about sin, he thought. There are enough problems now without sin. Also I have no understanding of it. Ernest Hemingway
All anger is not sinful, because some degree of it, and on some occasions, is inevitable. But it becomes sinful and contradicts the rule of Scripture when it is conceived upon slight and inadequate provocation, and when it continues long. Wilson Mizner
John Nelson Darby quote: "Every Christian will allow that sin is an evil, and that it is..."
Every Christian will allow that sin is an evil, and that it is our duty not to commit sin. John Nelson Darby
Such sins, even if they do not kill all grace in us, do harm, nevertheless; and though they are only venial in themselves, they make us apt, ready, and inclined to lose grace and to fall into mortal sin. Johannes Tauler
People sometimes ask me if it is a sin in the Church of Emacs to use vi. Using a free version of vi is not a sin; it is a penance. So happy hacking. Richard Stallman
