Famous quotes with Forgivable

  • A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
    Robert Fripp
  • Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
    Bruce Lee
  • In all the work we do, our most valuable asset can be the attitude of self-examination. It is forgivable to make mistakes, but to stand fast behind a wall of self-righteousness and make the same mistake twice is not forgivable.
    Dr. Dale E. Turner
  • May we not say, perhaps, that the evil man is annihilated because he wished to be annihilated, or that he did not wish strongly enough to eternalize himself because he was evil? May we say that it is not in the other life which causes a man to be good, but rather that causes him believe in it? And what is being good and being evil? These states belong to the sphere of ethics, not of religion; or rather, does not the good though being evil pertain to ethics, and the good [forgivable] though doing evil, to religion?
    Miguel de Unamuno
