Charity creates a multitude of sins.

Sins of the flesh are nothing. Sins of the soul are shameful.

While to the claims of charity a man may yield and yet be free, to the claims of conformity no man may yield and remain free at all

There were sins whose fascination was more in the memory than in the doing of them, strange triumphs that gratified the pride more than the passions, and gave to the intellect a quickened sense of joy, greater than any joy they brought, or could ever bring, to the senses.

You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit.

There is a very real relationship, both quantitatively and qualitatively, between what you contribute and what you get our of this world.
