This one is self-explanatory. It is from an address given by Frederick Lewis Donaldson* in 1925, in Westminster Abbey, London:

“The Seven Social Sins are:

Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.
Knowledge without character.
Commerce without morality.
Science without humanity.
Worship without sacrifice.
Politics without principle.”

* Frederick Lewis Donaldson was an English Anglican priest, and Archdeacon of Westminster from 1937 to 1946.

A sort of extension of the Seven Deadly Sins — pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth — the Seven Social Sins would serve as a worthy guideline throughout life for most of us.

If only we could convince the proud, greedy, wrathful, envious, amoral, gluttonous, slothful, and downright evil ones to join us . . .

Just sayin . . .
