Should I comfort those who do not mourn? Some preachers are too quick and too willing to hand out pardons to sinners who do not mourn over their crimes!
John William Fletcher
Image
A Thousand Pardons began at the beginning. I wanted it to be one continuous, almost breathless kind of story. In order to do that, it's really hard not to begin at the beginning. There's such a chain of consequence to everything that happens to main characters - it's very hard to break it apart and still be able to hold the plot in your head.
Jonathan Dee
Image
Censure pardons the ravens but rebukes the doves. [The innocent are punished and the wicked escape.]
Juvenal
Image
Wherever there is failure, there is some giddiness, some superstition about luck, some step omitted, which, Nature never pardons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I am a president who also gives pardons. Usually my considerations are humane.
Shimon Peres
Image
As president, Clinton sold burial plots in Arlington Cemetery and liberals shrugged it off. What really gets their goat is the autopen. Evidently, the important thing was that every one of those pardons Clinton sold for cash on his last day in office was signed by Bill Clinton personally.
Ann Coulter
Image
God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
In a well governed state, there are few punishments, not because there are many pardons, but because criminals are rare it is when a state is in decay that the multitude of crimes is a gaurantee of impunity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.
John Calvin
Image
Then might ye see Cowls, hoods, and habits with their wearers tost And flutter'd into rags then reliques, beads, Indulgences, dispenses, pardons, bulls, The sport of winds all these upwhirl'd aloft Fly to the rearward of the world far off Into a limbo large and broad, since called The paradise of fools.
John Milton
Image
I don't want to make it sound too much like I'm telling people how to read the book A Thousand Pardons, but what Ben Armstead is doing, he's doing more or less on purpose as a very elaborate way of making a sacrifice in his personal life. He needs to start over. This is how he chooses to do it - by blowing up where he is.
Jonathan Dee
Image
The Lord Jesus Christ would have the whole world to know, that though He pardons sin, He will not protect it.
Joseph Alleine
Image
Nature encourages no looseness pardons no errors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it.
Saadi
Image
A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference. It pardons shortcomings, it consoles failure.
Thornton Wilder
Image
Let what offends God offend me, and what God pardons, I pardon.
Criss Jami
Image
It's a tradition in Islamic society to issue pardons at the end of Ramadan.
Hooman Majd
Image
Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us it can help us when we are down it can heal us when we are wounded it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions.
John Bunyan
