The denominational world tries to pressure its members to focus on the birth of Christ but in doing so layers of guilt are imposed and competition gets complicated as one Christmas program tries to outdo the other.

Make no mistake most women are well aware that they've never had it so good when they enter a spa or salon it is purely a hair/nails thing a prelude to an evening of guilt-free fun.

Working moms commonly testify that they feel guilty when they are away from their children and guilty when they are not at their jobs. Devoted fathers certainly miss their children deeply but it does not seem to be with the same gnawing primal anxiety that often afflicts women.

A young bride is like a plucked flower but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.

I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.

The defendant wants to hide the truth because he's generally guilty. The defense attorney's job is to make sure the jury does not arrive at that truth.

Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes but is a reward in itself.

I hope and trust the infinite the eternal and merciful and loving God. I worship Him and feel no guilt in my heart before him for what I am going to do.

I'm equally guilty of using technology - I Twitter I text people I chat. But I think there's something strangely insidious about it that it makes us think we're closer when in fact we're not seeing each other we're not connecting.

What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

In a closed society where everybody's guilty the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves the only final sin is stupidity.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.

It's sad that the most glorious of sexual experiences can make us feel guilty ashamed embarrassed and abnormal.

It just so happens that the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion. I don't think people have noticed that but it's got all the sort of terms that religions use...

I think we all suffer from guilt at some point in our lives but for the most part I never really regret and I try to always remain positive. Yes I think that those issues are very interesting to play in a character and they're prominent issues in life and I think people can relate to them.

If acknowledging that racial misgivings and misunderstandings are still a part of politics and life in America I plead guilty.

And I know I'm supposed to feel guilty for wanting people to buy my books... and books in general? Novels and poetry they belong to the realm of art. How dirty of us to try to hawk art! But after a decade of hand-wringing and apologies I can't quite muster the guilt anymore.

The Peace Corps is guilty of enthusiasm and a crusading spirit. But we're not apologetic about it.

Those who have experienced the most have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.
