Therefore it enters the world as a forbidden fact against everything that God has ordained. - Horace Bushnell Nature has no promise for society, least of all, any remedy for sin. - Horace Bushnell Drudgery and knowledge are of a kin, And both descended from one parent sin. - Samuel Butler (1) Compound for sins they are inclin'd to, By damning those they have no mind to. - Samuel Butler (1), Hudibras (pt. I, canto !, l. 215) Angels for the good man's sin wept to record, and blushed to give it in. - Thomas Campbell But, said as angels for the good man's sin, Weep to record, and blush to give it in. - Thomas Campbell, Pleasures of Hope (pt.

And the tyranny He exercises when he hath expung'd, Like to the horror of a winter's thunder, Mix'd with a gushing storm; that suffers nothing To stir abroad on earth, but their own rages, Is sin, when it hath gather'd head above us: No roof, no shelter can secure us so, But he will drown our cheeks in fear or woe. - George Chapman Sin is ashamed of sin. - George Chapman Think not for wrongs like these unscourged to live; Long may ye sin, and long may Heaven forgive; But when ye least expect, in sorrow's day, Vengeance shall fall more heavy for delay. - Charles Churchill If we did not first take great pains to corrupt our nature, our nature would never corrupt us. - Lord Clarendon, Edward Hyde I have learned what a sin is against an infinite imperishable being, such as is the soul of man. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge Sin is free, or you cannot make sin out of it. - Joseph Cook Sin let loose speaks punishment at hand. - William Cowper, Expostulation (l. 160) Fears of sinning let in thoughts of sin. - George Crabbe Come, now again, thy woes impart, Tell all thy sorrows, all thy sin; We cannot heal the throbbing heart Will we discern the wounds within. - George Crabbe, Hell of Justice (pt. II) Besides the guilt of sin and the power of sin, there is the stain of sin. - Nathaniel Culverwell O sin, what hast thou done to this fair earth! - Richard Henry Dana, Sr. Sin hath broke the world's sweet peace--unstrung Th' harmonious chords to which the angels sung. - Richard Henry Dana, Sr. There are sins of omission as well as those of commission. - Dorothee DeLuzy Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong. - Tryon Edwards Displaying page 2 of 8 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 8
