“Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is the most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrong doing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.” (Aldous Huxley; Brave New World)
“The seven sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle.” – Frederick Lewis Donaldson (1925)
“Having “descended below all things,” He comprehends, perfectly and personally, the full range of human suffering! A spiritual sung in yesteryear has an especially moving and insightful line: “Nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen, nobody knows but Jesus.” Truly, Jesus was exquisitely “acquainted with grief,” as no one else.” (Neal A. Maxwell)
