Charity may cover a multitude of sins, but success transmutes them into virtues.

Charity creates a multitude of sins.
Oscar Wilde
To remember everything is a great thing to the understanding; that love hides a multitude of sins is foolishness to it. Or should we deprive ourselves of this comfort by sensibly wanting to measure out love, so to speak, by wanting to portion it out as compensation for particular sins and in this way continue in the sins? Should we shut ourselves out from love; if we continue in love, who is it, then, who accuses? Or is not the love in a person that hides a multitude of sins from himself the same love that out of love hides a multitude of sins? p. 77
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
The blood of Jesus Christ can cover a multitude of sins, it seems to me.
Denis Diderot
Affectation hides three times as many virtues as charity does sins.
Horace Mann
What was right and true yesterday is wrong and false today. What was immoral and shameful — promiscuity, abortion, euthanasia, suicide — has become progressive and praiseworthy. Nietzsche called it the transvaluation of all values; the old virtues become sins, and the old sins become virtues.
