Quote by Oscar Wilde

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Summary

This quote suggests that no one is inherently good or evil, but that our actions and choices determine our present state. It implies that even those who are considered saints or virtuous individuals have made mistakes in their past, while those who are labeled sinners or immoral still have the potential for growth and positive change in the future. Thus, it promotes the idea of redemption and the belief that people have the capacity to transform themselves, emphasizing the importance of not judging others solely based on their current circumstances.
