Guilt is universal.
No acquisitions of guilt can compensate the loss of that solid inward comfort of mind, which is the sure companion of innocence and virtue; nor can in the least balance the evil of that horror and anxiety which, in their room, guilt introduces into our bosoms.
The difference between guilt and shame is very clearóin theory. We feel guilty for what we do. We feel shame for what we are.

Beside one deed of guilt, how blest is guiltless woe!
Guilt was 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
However boldly their warm blood was spilt,
Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;
And this they knew and felt, at least the one,
The leader of the hand he had undone,--
Who, born for better things, had madly set
His life upon a cast, which linger'd yet.
The ghostly consciousness of wrong.
Wickedness consists in the very hesitation about an act, even though it be not perpetrated.
Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed.
Guilt is a timorous thing ere perpetration; despair alone makes guilty men be bold.

He swears, but he, is sick at heart;
He laughs, but he turns deadly pale;
His restless eye and sudden start--
These tell the dreadful tale
That will be told: it needs no words from thee
Thou self-sold slave to guilt and misery.
My hands are guilty, but my heart is free.
Thoughts cannot form themselves in words so horrid As can express my guilt.
Fraud and falsehood are his weak and treacherous allies; and he lurks trembling in the dark, dreading every ray of light, lest it should discover him, and give him up to shame and punishment.
Fraud and falsehood are his weak and treacherous allies; and he lurks trembling in the dark, dreading every ray of light, lest it should discover him, and give him up to shame and punishment.
Guilt has very quick ears to an accusation.
Every man bears something within him that, if it were publicly announced, would excite feelings of aversion.
