Affliction is a school of virtue; it corrects levity, and interrupts the confidence of sinning.
Francis Atterbury
Die, v.: To stop sinning suddenly.
Elbert Hubbard
Fairest and dearest, your wrath and anger are more heavy than I can bear; but learn that I cannot tell what you wish me to say without sinning against my honour too grievously.
Marie de France
Never let a man imagine that he can pursue a good end by evil means, without sinning against his own soul. The evil effect on himself is certain.
Robert Southey
Somebody must show that the Afro-American race is more sinned against than sinning, and it seems to have fallen upon me to do so.
Ida B. Wells
The custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it.
John Owen
