The only unforgivable sin: Being unforgiving.

Malcolm Forbes

The only unforgivable sin is deliberate cruelty.

Tennessee Williams

Success is the only unforgivable sin against your neighbor.

Faina Ranevskaya

cruelty is the only thing that strikes me as completely unforgivable. The unpardonable sin.

Rae Foley

In a world that has lost a sense of sin, one sin remains: Thou shalt not make people feel guilty (except, of course, about making people feel guilty). In other words, the only sin today is to call something a sin.

Christopher West

Before the sin, Satan assures us that it is of no consequence; after the sin, he persuades us that it is unforgivable.

Fulton J. Sheen

Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.

Graham Greene

Despair has been called the unforgivable sin-not presumably because God refuses to forgive it, but because it despairs of the possibility of being forgiven.

Frederick Buechner

The one unforgivable sin is to be boring.

Christopher Hitchens

It is in our incompleteness, of which we are aware, that education as a permanent process is grounded. Women and men are capable of being educated only to the extent that they are capable of recognizing themselves as unfinished.

Paulo Freire

The unforgivable sin is the refusal to pardon.

George Santayana

Every person in the world is by nature a slave to sin. The world, by nature, is held in sin's grip. What a shock to our complacency- that everything of us by nature belongs to sin. Our silences belong to sin, our omissions belong to sin, our talents belong to sin, our actions belong to sin. Every facet of our personalities belong to sin; it own us and dominates us. We are its servants.

Joel Beeke

That is the one unforgivable sin in any society. Be different and be damned!

Margaret Mitchell

Avoiding combat duty was and is an unforgivable sin for a professional soldier.

John Eisenhower

God never excuses sin. And He is always consistent with that ethic. Whenever we start to question whether God really hates sin, we have only to think of the cross, where His Son was tortured, mocked, and beaten because of sin. Our sin

Francis Chan

The unforgivable political sin is vanity; the killer diet is sour grapes.

Neil Kinnock
