He who flees judgment confesses his guilt. – Anon.

He who is present at a wrongdoing and does not lift a hand to prevent it, is as guilty as the wrongdoers. – American Indian Proverb

The very presence of guilt, let alone its tenacity, implies imbalance: Something, we suspect, is getting more of our energy than warrants, at the expense of something else, we suspect, that deserves more of our energy than we – Melinda M. Marshall

Guilt alone, like brain-sick frenzy in its feverish mood, fills the light air with visionary terrors, and shapeless forms of fear. – Junius
