Sin Quotes
-
If your sin feels "too big," your vision of God is too small.
Mark Hart
Crowded House
-
Inconstancy no sin will prove If we consider that we love But the same beauty in another face, Like the same body in another place.
Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury
-
Know for a certainty that if men understood how terrible is even one solitary sin, they would rather be cast into a heated furnace, and there remain, living both in soul and body, than to support such a sight. And if the sea were all fire they would cast themselves therein and never leave it, if they were certain of meeting the sin on doing so.
Catherine of Genoa
-
To pine for an alternative past is a waste of energy. In the pristine world of your infinite spiritual self, there is no sin or negative energy. There is only compassion, learning, and unconditional love and forgiveness. Remind yourself and those around you of this fact. In the light of God, everything is healed and seen to be perfect.
Stuart Wilde
-
The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
Boyd K. Packer

One sank into the ancient sin of anomie when challenges failed.
Carolyn Heilbrun
-
Lust is the sin that gets me excited. Luckily, because I'm married, I also get really good jewelry out of it.
Heather Locklear
-
...my soul always reverts to the Old Testament and to Shakespeare. There at least one feels that it's human beings talking. There people hate, people love, people murder their enemy and curse his descendants through all generations, there people sin.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
The Greeks really believed in history. They believed that the past had consequences and that you might be punished for the sins of your father. America, and particularly New York, runs on the idea that history doesn't matter. There is no history. There is only the never-ending present. You don't even have your family because you moved here to get away from them, so even that idea of personal history has been cut at the knees.
Christopher Bollen
-
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
Henrik Ibsen
-
The cure for the sin of envy and jealousy is to find our contentment in God.
Jerry Bridges
-
America was the worst place in the world in which to fail, fall sick, get old or die, because then your problems had crystallised into the unforgivable sin. Failure.
Evelyn Anthony
-
Sometimes we forget that sin really is optional.
Mark Hart
Crowded House
-
Providing for one's family as a good husband and father is a watertight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for 'doing the best' for his children?
Eva Figes
-
The great danger is that in the confession of any collective sin, one shall confess the sins of others and forget our own.
Georgia Harkness
-
Sin is: before God, or with the conception of God, in despair not to will to be oneself, or in despair to will to be oneself. Thus sin is intensified weakness or intensified defiance: sin is the intensification of despair. The emphasis is on before God, or with a conception of God; it is the conception of God that makes sin dialectically, ethically, and religiously what lawyers call 'aggravated' despair.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
Envy makes people lonely, and brings them great suffering. It is horrible stuff to have in our flesh, and it is a sin we need to take deadly seriously.
Esther Smith
