Sinful

Famous quotes containing the word sinful:

Oft to a narrow, homely room,
Where thou too hast but the least part,
My God, I mean my sinful heart.”

“I am not sure how many “sins” I would recognize in the world. Some would surely be defused by changed circumstances. But I can imagine none that is more irredeemably sinful than the betrayal, the exploitation, of the young by those who should care for them.”

“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.”
