Sinful

Famous quotes containing the word sinful:

“Let sinful bachelors their woes deplore;
Full well they merit all they feel, and more:
Unaw’d by precepts, human or divine,
Like birds and beasts, promiscuously they join.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“... it is only after years and years that you can speak of penury in the midst of opulence, of hunger in the midst of almost sinful plenty. You must never speak of the immediate experience unless and until you have learned its consequent value. Otherwise you grow old in bitterness which is barren and futile....”
—E. M. Almedingen (b. 1898–?)

“But I am sure, thou dost now come
Oft to a narrow, homely room,
Where thou too hast but the least part,
My God, I mean my sinful heart.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
