Sinner Quotes
-
Although the sinner does not believe in Hell, he shall nevertheless go there if he has the misfortune to die in mortal sin.
Anthony Mary Claret
-
Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity. When the Illustrious Buddha taught about the world, he had to divide it into Samsara and Nirvana, illusion and truth, into suffering and salvation. One cannot do otherwise, there is no other method for those who teach. But the world itself, being in and around us, is never one-sided. Never is a man or a deed wholly Samsara or wholly Nirvana; never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner. This only seems so because we suffer the illusion that time is something real.
Hermann Hesse
-
In opposition to the plenary ability taught by the Pelagians, the gracious ability of the Arminians, and the natural ability of the New School theologians, the Scriptures declare the total inability of the sinner to turn himself to God or to do that which is truly good in God's sight
Augustus Hopkins Strong
-
When a majority of my prayers are for others to change, I've gotten off track. Lord, change this sinner's heart.
Mark Hart

-
Well, but you affirm that virtue is only elicited by temptation; - and you think that a woman cannot be too little exposed to temptation, or too little acquainted with vice, or anything connected therewith - It must be, either, that you think she is essentially so vicious, or so feeble-minded that she cannot withstand temptation, - and though she may be pure and innocent as long as she is kept in ignorance and restraint, yet, being destitute of real virtue, to teach her how to sin is at once to make her a sinner.
Anne Bronte
-
In the gay (Catholic) community, it would seem, the maxim is: love the sin and love the sinner, but hate anyone who calls it a sin or him a sinner.
Richard John Neuhaus
-
The prayer of one who does not consider himself a sinner is not accepted by the Lord.
Isaac of Nineveh
-
Like one
Who having into truth, by telling of it,
Made such a sinner of his memory,
To credit his own lie.
William Shakespeare
-
The power of God unto salvation is not our passion for God, but the passion He has exhibited toward us sinners by sending his own Son to redeem us.
Michael Horton
-
If you see yourself as a "little sinner" you will inevitably see Jesus as a "little savior".
Martin Luther
-
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Here lay Cain's fatal mistake: "He was rejected, not because he was a sinner, but because, being a sinner, he had dared to approach a holy God without blood."
Charles Henry Mackintosh
-
When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city.
Charles Grandison Finney
-
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.
William Shakespeare
-
You've got to preach short sermons to catch sinners.
George Horace Lorimer
-
Brethren, the just man shall scarcely be saved. What, then, will become of the sinner?
Arsenius the Great
-
The longer men sin, the more easily they can; for every act of transgression weakens conscience, stupefies intellect, hardens hearts, adds force to bad habits, and takes force from good example. And, surely, there is nothing in such associations; as wicked affinities will insure to the sinner in the future state, to incline him to repentance.
Edward Thomson
-
Sin we have explain'd away; Unluckily, the sinners stay.
William Allingham
-
To me a saint is a severely edited sinner. That's what I think.
Malachy McCourt
-
The popular gospel of this day, is the laughing-stock of Hell; it dare neither damn the sinner, nor sanctify the saint.
Catherine Booth
