I hope you find great value in these Quotes about Offending from my large collection of inspirational quotes and motivational sayings.
Laws are sand, customs are rock.
Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped,
but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment.

for a visiting stranger to do -
find out what the country's customs are,
and refrain from offending against them.
- Mark Twain

ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.
