Vice, like virtue, Grows in small steps, and no true innocence Can ever fall at once to deepest guilt.

The day is not purer than the depths of my heart.

Can a faith that does nothing be called sincere?

You feign guilt in order to justify yourself.

Great crimes come never singly; they are linked To sins that went before.

Do you think you can be righteous and holy with impunity?

The faith that acts not, is it truly faith?
