~ Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness; the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor; while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace. ~ ~ Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself; for every guilty person is his own hangman ~ ~ Guiltiness will speak, though tongues were out of use ~ ~ The guilt being great, the fear doth still exceed. ~ ~ The mind of guilt is full of scorpions. ~ ~ They whose guilt within their bosom lies, imagine every eye beholds their blame. ~ ~ When guilt is in its blush of infancy, it trembles in a tenderness of shame; and the first eye that pierces through the veil that hides the secret brings it to the face ~ ~ They who once engage in iniquitous designs miserably deceive themselves when they think that they will go so far and no farther; one fault begets
another, one crime renders another necessary; and thus they are impelled continually downward into a depth of guilt, which at the commencement
of their career they would have died rather than have incurred. ~ ~ Let guilty men remember, their black deeds
Do lean on crutches made of slender reeds. ~ ~ Let no man trust the first false step of guilt; it hangs upon a precipice, whose steep descent in last perdition ends. ~ ~ Where, where for shelter shall the guilty fly,
When consternation turns the good man pale? ~ ~ The more sinful and guilty a person tends to feel,
the less chance there is that he will be
a happy, healthy, or law-abiding citizen.
He will become a compulsive wrong-doer. ~ |
