Sin Quotes

In order to avoid contention, never contradict anyone, except in case of sin or some danger to a neighbor; and when necessary to contradict others, and to oppose your opinion to theirs, do it with so much mildness and tact, as not to appear to do violence to their mind, for nothing is ever gained by taking up things with excessive warmth and hastiness Picture Quote #1

It is impossible for a man to be freed from the habit of sin before he hates it, just as it is impossible to receive forgiveness before confessing his trespasses Picture Quote #1

It is not a sin to introduce a personal bias that can be recognized and discounted. The sin in historical composition is the organization of the story in such a way that bias cannot be recognized Picture Quote #1

Water is the formless potential out of which creation emerged. It is the ocean of unconsciousness enveloping the islands of consciousness. Water bathes us at birth and again at death, and in between it washes away sin. It is by turns the elixir of life or the renewing rain or the devastating flood Picture Quote #1

A person who suffers bitterly when slighted or insulted should recognize from this that he still harbors the ancient serpent in his breast. If he quietly endures the insult or responds with great humility, he weakens the serpent and lessens its hold. But if he replies acrimoniously or brazenly, he gives it strength to pour its venom into his heart and to feed mercilessly on his guts. In this way the serpent becomes increasingly powerful; it destroys his soul’s strength and his attempts to set himself right, compelling him to live for sin and to be completely dead to righteousness Picture Quote #1

It is no sin to attempt and fail. The only sin is not to make the attempt Picture Quote #1

Every kind of prayer, not intercessory prayer only, which is the highest kind of prayer, but all prayer, from the lowest kind to the highest, is impossible in a life of known and allowed sin Picture Quote #1

Admit sin, and you banish prayer. But, on the other hand, entertain, and encourage, and practice prayer, and sin will sooner or later flee before it Picture Quote #1

Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth Picture Quote #1

It may be doubted whether any repentance is genuine which is not repentance for sin rather than sins Picture Quote #1

Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy Picture Quote #1

Brains cause technology, society, art, science, soap operas, sin. A remarkable set of effects for such a small chunk of coagulated atoms Picture Quote #1

Oh sirs, deal with sin as sin, and speak of heaven and hell as they are, and not as if you were in jest Picture Quote #1

Those who’ve been rescued from sin are best able to help in the rescue of others Picture Quote #1

If thou least fallen into sin through violent temptations, seek speedily for repentance for it, recovery out of it, and reformation from it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In the beginning, sin is like a thread of a spider’s web. But in the end, it becomes like the cable of a ship Picture Quote #1

As long as a man does not sin, he is feared. As soon as he sins, he himself is in fear Picture Quote #1

Pilate sentenced him due to fear, in accordance with the petition and intention of others. These people sentence him for their own advantage and without any fear, by dishonoring him through sin that they could abstain from, if they wanted. But they neither abstain from sin nor are they ashamed of their already committed sins, for they do not take into consideration their unworthiness of the kindness of the one whom they do not serve Picture Quote #1

I think I came here as a priest... The priest is more concerned with heresy than with sin; sins can be forgiven; heresy must be eliminated Picture Quote #1

All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation Picture Quote #1

I’ll always push the envelope. To me, the ultimate sin in life is to be boring. I don’t play it safe Picture Quote #1

Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn’t meant to be, and we have no right to do it Picture Quote #1

Lust is the sin that gets me excited. Luckily, because I’m married, I also get really good jewelry out of it Picture Quote #1

The resurrection stands related to righteousness in the same way that death stands related to sin Picture Quote #1

To listen only to records is a sin of narcissism. It is important to hear live music, in concert, which is a source of emotions that a record can never convey Picture Quote #1

Avoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials Picture Quote #1

Sin in the theater, I can observe now, is comparable to education in a university: it is there for those who wish to take advantage of it, but fewer do than you might suspect Picture Quote #1

When I found out that I could carry a tune, well, I came to realize that I had a gift, that it was a kind of a blessing. And I think if you’re given something special, you ought to try and give that something back. If you don’t, it’s a sin. No question Picture Quote #1

Am I embarrassed to speak for a less than perfect democracy? Not one bit. Find me a better one. Do I suppose there are societies which are free of sin? No, I don’t. Do I think ours is, on balance, incomparably the most hopeful set of human relations the world has? Yes, I do Picture Quote #1
