“No ignorance of truth is a personal sin before God, except that ignorance which springs from personal sin.”

“The only sin in the world is ignorance.”

“A person is never happy except at the price of some ignorance.”

“There is no sin so great as ignorance. Remember this.”

“(…) Sin and virtue refer to a person only. Without a sinful or virtuous person what is sin or virtue? At the level of the absolute there are no persons; the ocean of pure awareness is neither virtuous nor sinful. Sin and virtue are invariably relative.”

“But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.”

“To be a saint is the exception; to be a just person is the rule. Err, stumble, commit sin, but be one of the just.”

“The sinners … had been taught to think of sin as the failure of observe laws of which they were usually quite ignorant. Sin was therefore not always a fully deliberate act.”

“We know all their gods; they ignore ours. What they call our sins are our gods, and what they call their gods, we name otherwise.”

“For my part I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.”
