It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter.

#quotes #helen-suzman #criticism #law

All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself.

It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape. ~Angus Wilson
