Profanity quotations

Contributed by: DR. SEAN REIF D.C. on 7/9/2007

"Profanity never did any man the least good. No man is the richer, or happier, or wiser for it. It is disgusting to the refined; abominable to the good; insulting to those with whom we associate; degrading to the mind; unprofitable, needless, and injurious to society."

"He that indulges in it is no gentleman. I care not what clothes he wears, or what culture he boasts. Despite all his refinement, the light and habitual taking of God's name in vain, betrays a coarse and brutal will."

"Common swearing, if it have any serious meaning, argues in man a distrust of his own reputation, and is an acknowledgement that he thinks his word not worthy of credit."

"The foolish and the wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low, that every person of sense and character detests and despises it."

"Profanity is both an unreasonable and an unmanly sin, a violation of good taste and good morals and an offense against man and God."

"Some sins are productive of temporary profit or pleasure. But the profaneness is productive of nothing unless it be shame."

Yeah, but it comes in handy when you drop a hammer on your toe.
