Guilt Quotes

Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness; the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor; while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.

Sir Walter

Seneca

William Shakespeare

Guiltiness will speak, though tongues were out of use

William Shakespeare

The mind of guilt is full of scorpions.

William Shakespeare

Robert Southey

Dr. Albert Ellis

Guilt is anything you did and fear others to know about

Mohammad
