Innocent

Famous quotes containing the word innocent:

    To be innocent is natural, but to die pure of heart—that’s a gift.
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. George Melton (Harry Carey)

    These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 6:16-19.

    This is ... a trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree that we do—namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
