To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.
Abraham Lincoln

There is no sin except stupidity.
Oscar Wilde

Desire of having is the sin of covetousness.

By that sin fell the angels.
William Shakespeare

If it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?
Friedrich Nietzsche

After the first blush of sin comes its indifference.
Henry David Thoreau

It ain't no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any.
Mae West

Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
Swami Vivekananda

The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.
Swami Vivekananda

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.
Hunter S. Thompson

I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine

To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.
Saint Augustine

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.
Martin Luther

For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus

How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
Alexander Pope

If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn't take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.
Robert Frost
