Society can overlook murder, adultery or swindling — it never forgives the preaching of a new gospel.
--
Actually from Frederic Harrison's essay "Ruskin as Prophet", in his Tennyson, Ruskin, Mill, and Other Literary Estimates (1899).Edmund Burke
I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.
Jimmy Carter
God forgives; forgives not capriciously, but with wise, definite, Divine prearrangement; forgives universally, on the ground of an atonement, and on the condition of repentance and faith.
Richard Salter Storrs
The face forgives the mirror, the worm forgives the plough, the question begs the answer, can you forgive me somehow?
Tom Waits
When you think about it, when you overlook the ingrained taboos of society and think for your own f**king self for once, it doesn't make much sense that murder is illegal when we still have no idea what death IS, exactly. For all we know the human body is merely a stopping-off point where we learn wisdom and patience in preparation for the next, ultimate state of existence, beings of pure light, at one with the universe and with minds encompassing a thousand galaxies. And for all we know, you only get to do all this if you die before you turn 40. In that case, being murdered could be the greatest thing anyone ever does for you. (5 October 2004)

Preaching the Gospel exceeds prayer and administration of the sacraments to an infinite degree.
