Quotations for stains

Life, like a dome of many coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of eternity. [ Shelley ]

Beneath the roof of heaven, that stains the soul
Of man, with more infernal hue, than damn'd
Assassination? [ Cibber ]

When you have discovered a stain in yourself, you eagerly seek for and gladly find stains in others. [ Auerbach ]

He that falls into sin, is a man; that grieves at it, is a saint; that boasteth of it, is a devil; yet some glory in that shame, counting the stains of sin the best complexion of their souls. [ Fuller ]
