Sweet speaking oft a currish heart reclaims.

Philip Sidney

Death is a great price to pay for a red rose“, cried the Nightingale, "and Life is very dear to all. “ It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and watch the Sun in his chariot of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent oft he hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?

Oscar Wilde

Faded smiles oft linger in the face, While grief's first flakes fall silent on the heart!

Alfred Austin

I ne'er was struck before that hour with love so sudden and so sweet. Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower and stole my heart away complete

John Clare

Many a smiling face hides a mourning heart; but grief alone teaches us what we are.

Friedrich Schiller

Oft as by chance, a little while apart The pall of empty, loveless hours withdrawn, Sweet Beauty, opening on the impoverished heart, Beams like a jewel on the breast of dawn.

Alan Seeger

God is an oppressor, He is incapable of human sympathy; behind a smiling face He hides an evil heart.

Louis de Bernieres

With little here to do or see Of things that in the great world be, Sweet Daisy! oft I talk to thee For thou art worthy, Thou unassuming commonplace Of Nature, with that homely face, And yet with something of a grace Which love makes for thee!

William Wordsworth

The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned. Fourteen times in the first fifty Psalms alone, we are told that God hates the sinner, His wrath is on the liar, and so forth. In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36).

D. A. Carson

Culture hides more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants.

Edward T. Hall

Culture hides much more than it reveals, and strangely enough, what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants.

Edward T. Hall

Guilt simply says that you are a sinner. And the feeling of shame simply shows you that you need not be a sinner, that you are meant to be a saint. If you are a sinner it is only because of your unconsciousness; you are not a sinner because the society follows a certain morality and you are not following it.

Rajneesh

The sinner is at the heart of Christianity. No one is as competent as the sinner in matters of Christianity. No one, except a saint.

Charles Peguy

God has such gladness every time he sees from heaven that a sinner is praying to Him with all his heart, as a mother has when she sees the first smile on her baby's face.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

The sinless One took on the face of a sinner so that we sinners could take on the face of a saint.

Max Lucado

Then I played the song that hides in the center of me. That wordless music that moves through the secret places in my heart. I played it carefully, strumming it slow and low into the dark stillness of the night. I would like to say it is a happy song, that it is sweet and bright, but it is not.

Patrick Rothfuss
