There is only one real sin, and that is to persuade oneself that the second-best is anything but the second-best

All sins are attempts to fill voids

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

One who is allowed to sin, sins less

I like the word 'indolence', It makes my laziness seem classy

The more sins you confess, the more books you will sell

The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation

The seven deadly sins... food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes,respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven millstones from man's neck but money; and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted

It is a sin against hospitality, to open your doors and darken your countenance

And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility
