Quotemeal: Nov. 13th, 1962

Tuesday, November 13, 1962

"Men perish with whispering sins — nay, with silent sins, sins that never tell the conscience that they are sins, as often with crying sins; and in hell there shall meet as many men that never thought what was sin, as that spent all their thoughts in the compassing of sin."
— John Donne
