Admit Guilt

Famous quotes containing the words admit and/or guilt:

“Things admit of being used as symbols, because nature is a symbol, in the whole, and in every part.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
