More sinners are cursed proverb

 More sinners are cursed at not because we despise their sins but because we envy their success at sinning
  Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay

 An implicit confession is almost as bad as an implicit faith; wicked men commonly confess their sins by wholesale, We are all sinners; but the true penitent confesses his sins by retail

 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

 A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
  Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 If I did not commit any sins, O Infinite Lord, how would You have acquired the name, 'Redeemer of sinners'?

 We are gentlemen that neither in our hearts nor outward eyes envy the great nor shall the low despise.
  William Shakespeare

 DELUGE, n. A notable first experiment in baptism which washed away the sins (and sinners) of the world.
  Ambrose Bierce

 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? / When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

 The Church used to absolve sinners; today it has the gall to absolve sins.
  Nicolas Gomez Davila

 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; / Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

 The Bible and several other self help or enlightenment books cite the Seven Deadly Sins. They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter.

 In the Church, priests also are sinners. But I am personally convinced that the constant presence in the press of the sins of Catholic priests, especially in the United States, is a planned campaign, as the percentage of these offenses among priests is not higher than in other categories, and perhaps it is even lower.

 They say there's a heaven for those who will wait. Some say it's better, but I say it ain't. I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. Sinners are much more fun...
  Billy Joel
