"People who sin say this: That they had to, to survive. People who sin say this: That it's too late to stop. The shadow called Sin dogs them steadily without a word. Remorse and Agony are repeated, to finally end up at Despair. But sinners don't know. . . that if they turn around, there is a light. . . a light which keeps shining on them ever so warmly."

"Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful"
- Ben Franklin

"The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity"

- George Bernard Shaw

"Sin cannot tear you away from Him (Christ), even though you commit adultery a hundred times a day and commit as many murders."

- Martin Luther

- Giovanni Guareschi
