~ It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases. ~  ~ Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; the thief doth fear each bush an officer. ~ ~ Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch. ~ ~ Guilt once harbored in the conscious breast, intimidates the brave, degrades the great. ~ ~ From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed. ~ ~ The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot. ~ ~ Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind. ~ ~ Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do. ~ ~ Innocence is the weakest defense. Innocence has a single voice that can only say over and over again, "I didn't do it." Guilt has a thousand voices, all of them lies. ~ ~ Shame is closely related to guilt, but there is a key qualitative difference. No audience is needed for feelings of guilt, no one else need know, for the guilty person is his own judge. Not so for shame. The humiliation of shame requires disapproval or ridicule by others. If no one ever learns of a
misdeed there will be no shame, but there still might be guilt. Of course, there may be both. The distinction between shame and guilt is very
important, since these two emotions may tear a person in opposite directions. The wish to relieve guilt may motivate a confession, but the wish to
avoid the humiliation of shame may prevent it. ~ ~ Guilt is a rope that wears thin. ~ ~ Guilt soon learns to lie. ~  |
