Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.

"7 Deadly Sins"
O SIN, thou only evil in which there is no good, thou guperfluity of naughtiness, thou quintessence of what is odious and execrable, whose nature is entirely opposite to that of God, and the reverse of his holy law, who claimest the devil for thy sire, while death, and hell, and misery, confess thee for their only parent! how hast thou troubled all the creation! upon what creatures hast thou not transmitted thy baleful influence!
WILLIAM MCEWEN
"On the Great Evil of Sin", Select Essays, Doctrinal & Practical on a Variety of the Most Important and Interesting Subjects in Divinity
The malignity of sin does, in time, vitiate the principles of Nature; and the sinner comes to live entirely by sense and passion, who has been wont to put a violence upon judgment, reason, and conscience.
BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE
Moral and Religious Aphorisms
Look on Sin and loathe it;
With minds loathing it,
Then will ye make
An end of Misery.
GAUTAMA BUDDHA
Iti-Vuttaka
When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil.
MARY SHELLEY
Frankenstein
I am a man
More sinn'd against than sinning.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
King Lear
I think I ought to confess sin the moment I see it to be sin; whether I am in company or in study, or even preaching, the soul ought to cast a glance of abhorrence at the sin. If I go on with the duty, leaving the sin unconfessed, I go on with a burdened conscience, and add sin to sin.
ROBERT MURRAY M'CHEYNE

And when I fall, the first time especially, what a light I have on myself! I thought I was strong, that gross temptation would not move me, that I would be faithful in all sorts of environment. I am down--in the dirt--I know myself now! But I know God, too, as I did not before, now I know the radiance of the shadowless light, I know now what sin is.
CARYLL HOUSELANDER
This War is the Passion
Throughout the history of the Church, Christians have been steadfast in our belief that sin is a violation of God's holy standard and cannot simply be excused. Because God is holy and just, He can't overlook sin and simply pardon His people. Jesus had to suffer, be separated from God the Father, and die for each and every sin committed by his people.
JOHN ELLIS
"Christians Need to Stop Defending Racism with 'Whataboutism'", PJ Media, August 19, 2017
Most sins ... are only perverted virtues.
JOHN DANIEL BARRY
"Perquisites of Sin", Intimations
If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.... Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
JESUS
John 8:31-32, 34-36
Sin is absence of God. Nothing more, nothing less.
SIMON MAWER
The Gospel of Judas
The world of sin faces the world of grace like the reflected image of a landscape on the edge of a dark, deep stretch of water.
GEORGES BERNANOS
The Diary of a Country Priest
Virtue!--to be good and just--
Every heart, when sifted well,
Is a clot of warmer dust,
Mix'd with cunning sparks of hell.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Vision of Sin
God's whole nature moves toward the man who wants to be free from sin, as broadly and irresistibly as the summer moves from the south toward the north.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
Only those who are truly aware of their sin can truly cherish grace.
C. J. MAHANEY
The Cross-Centered Life
No sinners are so intolerant as those that have just turned saints.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
Sin is the rebellion of man's will against God's.
ROBERT HUGH BENSON
Lord of the World
