How glowing guilt exalts the keen delight!
Alexander Pope
Alas! How difficult it is to prevent the countenance from betraying guilt!
Ovid
These false pretexts and varnished colours failing, Rare in thy guilt how foul must thou appear.
John Milton
Whatever guilt is perpetrated by some evil prompting, is grievous to the author of the crime. This is the first punishment of guilt that no one who is guilty is acquitted at the judgment seat of his own conscience
Juvenal
How guilt once harbour'd in the conscious breast , Intimidates the brave, degrades the great.
Samuel Johnson
What we call real estate--the solid ground to build a house on--is the broad foundation on which nearly all the guilt of this world rests.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed
Cicero
Guilt is regret for what weÃve done. Regret is guilt for what we didnÃt do.
Unknown
Successful guilt is the bane of society
Publilius Syrus
It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven't done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent
Hannah Arendt
What we call real estate - the solid ground to build a house on - is the broad foundation on which nearly all the guilt of this world rests
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Guilt or innocence becomes irrelevant in the criminal trials as we flounder in a morass of artificial rules poorly conceived and often impossible to apply
Warren E. Burger
Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing
Hannah Arendt
Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow
Horace Bushnell
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves
Peter McWilliams
