~ Vegetarianism can easily reach religious proportions. Refraining from meat on moral grounds serves to dignify feelings of guilt toward sad-eyed, furry creatures and substitutes righteousness for squeamishness. ~ ~ The cheapness of wine seems to be a cause, not of drunkenness, but of sobriety. ...People are seldom guilty of excess in what is their daily fare...On the contrary, in the countries which, either from excessive heat or cold, produce no grapes, and where wine consequently is dear and a rarity, drunkenness is a common vice. ~ ~ I was guilty of judging capitalism by its operations and socialism by its hopes and aspirations; capitalism by its works and socialism by its literature. ~ ~ Guilt is never a rational thing; it distorts all the faculties of the human mind, it perverts them, it leaves a man no longer in the free use of his reason, it puts him into confusion. ~ ~ Give me, indulgent gods with mind serene,
And guiltless heart, to range the sylvan scene,
No splendid poverty, no smiling care,
No well-bred hate, or servile grandeur, there.
~ ~ The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses. ~ ~ A man guilty of poverty easily believes himself suspected. ~ ~ All technology should be assumed guilty until proven innocent ~ ~ Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong. ~ ~ Glory built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt. ~ ~ The innocence that feels no risk and is taught no caution is more vulnerable than guilt, and oftener assailed. ~ ~ To be innocent is to be not guilty; but to be virtuous is to overcome our evil inclinations. ~ |
