This anthology is structured around the seven deadly sins and the seven cardinal virtues, and is suitable for casual reading or as a resource for teachers and preachers. This collection of quotes is taken from a wide variety of sources. Each theme has its own section. Many of the entries are Christian, but not all. They range from classical authors, such as Plato and Dante by way of Shakespeare and Voltaire, through to modern writers, from George Orwell and Enid Blyton to Malcolm Muggeridge and Adrian Plass. Biblical material is included.
