Sin – select quotes
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
~ John Bunyan
If you desire to undertake a devout life, you must not only cease to sin, but also cleanse your heart from all affections to sin. . . . Souls that are recovered from the state of sin, and still retain these affections . . . eat without relish, sleep without rest, laugh without joy, and drag themselves along rather than walk. They do good, but with such a spiritual heaviness that it takes away all the grace from their good exercises.
~ Francis de Sales, in Introduction to the Devout Life
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
~ Epicurus
We ought to hate sin like we hate the death of a loved one.
~ Thomas Watson
Among the people there are killers who have not yet shed blood, and thieves who have stolen nothing, and liars who have so far told the truth.
~ Kahlil Gibran
