Robert Southey Quotes About Crime

Quotes about: Crime

• One fault begets another; one crime renders another necessary.

  Robert Southey

  Guilt, Faults, Crime

• They who once engage in iniquitous designs miserably deceive themselves when they think that they will go so far and no farther; one fault begets another, one crime renders another necessary; and thus they are impelled continually downward into a depth of guilt, which at the commencement of their career they would have died rather than have incurred.

  Robert Southey

  Thinking, Careers, Design

• War, even in the best state of an army, with all the alleviations of courtesy and honor, with all the correctives of morality and religion, is nevertheless so great an evil, that to engage in it without a clear necessity is a crime of the blackest dye. When the necessity is clear, it then becomes a crime to shrink from it.
