There is really nothing left to a genuine idle man, who possesses any considerable degree of vital power, but sin.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
Idleness is a constant sin, and labor is a duty. Idleness is the devil's home for temptation and for unprofitable, distracting musings; while labor profit others and ourselves.
Anne Baxter
Sin is whatever obscures the soul.
Andre Gide
All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.
Wystan Hugh Auden
Drink wine, and you will sleep well. Sleep and you will not sin. Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved
Medieval German saying
The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the LUXURY of a regret.
Oscar Wilde
Sofas 'twas half a sin to sit upon, So costly were they; carpets, every stitch Of workmanship so rare, they make you wish You could glide o'er them like a golden fish.
Lord Byron
Sofas 'twas half a sin to sit upon, So costly were they; carpets, every stitch Of workmanship so rare, they make you wish You could glide o'er them like a golden fish.
Lord Byron
Maybe living past your time is worse than a sin. Maybe we'll all get lucky and it'll never happen to any of us.
Bart Bull
Without the spice of guilt, sin cannot be fully savored.
Alexander Chase
