Sin Quotes
Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself. Envy is impotent, numbed with fear, never ceasing in its appetite, and it knows no gratification, but endless self torment. It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape.
Angus Wilson
Sins slowly suffocate the heart, and abandoning sins brings life to the heart.
Abdullah ibn Mubarak
He Christ died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own; and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.
Martin Luther
A man does not necessarily sin who does that which our reason and our conscience condemn.
J. G. Holland
There rise her timeless capitals of empires daily born, whose plinths are laid at midnight and whose streets are packed at morn; and here come tired youths and maids that feign to love or sin in tones like rusty razor blades to tunes like smitten tin.
Rudyard Kipling
Catch me, as if I have surely been out committing a violation against you, my sin of insisting on existing without you.
Ana Castillo
Every sin already carries grace within in, all small children are potential old men, all sucklings have death within them, all dying people - eternal life. The Buddha exists in the robber and dice player; the robber exists in the Brahmin.
Hermann Hesse
Untouchability, I hold, is a sin, if Bhagavadgita is one of our Divine Books.
Mahatma Gandhi
Die for adultery! No: The wren goes to't, and the small gilded fly does lecher in my sight
William Shakespeare
Sin ought to be something exquisite, my dear boy.
Emile Zola
Let me explain something when I'm talking about sin, and I'm talking about all sin. One of the biggest ones that has been talked about that has really become a debate in America is homosexuality.
Reggie White
How often have I been guilty of being the Holy Spirit in their lives? It is my job along with my husbands to impart truth but I can’t reveal truth only the Holy Spirit can. It is my job to point out sin and require obedience but I can’t bring conviction of sin – only the Holy Spirit can convict of sin. It is my job to share the gospel – but I can’t reveal the gospel to my children only the Holy Spirit can reveal the truth of the gospel.
Carolyn Mahaney
Drive-in, you guzzle gin, commit a little mortal sin.
Jimmy Buffett
Well-lit streets discourage sin, but don't overdo it.
William Kennedy
Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In biblical Greek the word "repent" comes from a military term similar to the command "about face." In...sermons, repentance is all about "turning away' from sin, and certainly repentance would include an element of that. However, the deeper flavor of his word is less about turning away from something and more about turning toward something. As much as the word "repent" makes many of us recoil, what if it is enjoining us to turn away from our fear of God and to turn toward the love of God? what if we simply confess that God is love, and then put a period at the end of the sentence? God is love. Period.
Benjamin L. Corey
Nothing is a sin when you obey the orders of a priest.
Alfred de Musset
