To say of shame - what is it? Of virtue - we can miss it; Of sin-we can kiss it, And it's no longer sin.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Shame, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.
The custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it.
One of the misfortunes of our time is that in getting rid of false shame we have killed off so much real shame as well.
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.
We are sinful not only because we have eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, but also because we have not yet eaten of the Tree of Life. The state in which we are is sinful, irrespective of guilt.
To those whose God is honor; only disgrace is a sin.
Remorse is the pain of sin.
The only sin is mediocrity.
If we have anything kind to say, any tender sentiment to express, we feel a sense of shame.
There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.
