Hope is forgivable when you're young, isn't it? With no suspicion of irony, without a soupçon of cynicism, hope lures with its siren song. ~ Rabih Alameddine
Forgivable quotes by Rabih Alameddine
Character is beyond obligation. You could kick your shoes off at the door, flick your cigarete butts onto the sidewalk or talk only in slang, those things are forgivable if you have character ~ Novala Takemoto
Forgivable quotes by Novala Takemoto
If the men were without passions, it would be forgivable to see Machiavel try to give some to them; he would be the new [[Prometheus]] bringing celestial fire to breathe life into robots. But no man is without passions. When they are moderated, they are the heart of the enterprise; but when the brake is stripped of them, they are its destruction. ~ Frederick The Great
Forgivable quotes by Frederick The Great
Have you noticed there are some people
Americans especially
who seem untouched by the war, or at least, unmangled by it? I don't mean to imply that Mark was a shirker
he was in their Air Corps
but he's simply not sunk under it. And when I'm with him, I feel untouched by the war, too. It's an illusion, I know it is, and truthfully, I'd be ashamed of myself if the war hadn't touched me. But it's forgivable to enjoy myself a little
isn't it? ~ Mary Ann Shaffer
Forgivable quotes by Mary Ann Shaffer
There is a moment, when a woman's foolishness slips into delusion. The former is forgivable, the latter isn't. You will never live it down. Remember that. ~ Edan Lepucki
Forgivable quotes by Edan Lepucki
The best part of being blonde is forgivable momentary lapses of common sense. ~ Caity Lotz
Forgivable quotes by Caity Lotz
If we refuse to forgive, we have stepped into dangerous waters. First, refusing to forgive is to put ourselves in the place of God, as though vengeance were our prerogative, not his. Second, unforgiveness says God's wrath is insufficient. For the unbeliever, we are saying that an eternity in hell is not enough; they need our slap in the face or cold shoulder to "even the scales" of justice. For the believer, we are saying that Christ's humiliation and death are not enough. In other words, we shake our fists at God and say, "Your standards may have been satisfied, but my standard is higher!" Finally, refusing to forgive is the highest form of arrogance. Here we stand forgiven. And as we bask in the forgiveness of a perfectly holy and righteous God, we turn to our brother and say, "My sins are forgivable, but yours are not." In other words, we act as though the sins of others are too significant to forgive while simultaneously believing that ours are not significant enough to matter. ~ Voddie T. Baucham Jr.
Forgivable quotes by Voddie T. Baucham Jr.
An unpeaceful mind cannot hear God. Any unpeaceful feeling is the indicator that what I am thinking is forgivable. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Forgivable quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
Of all mankind's unpleasant habits, sheer and willful cruelty is the most base, the least forgivable and, when carried to its extreme, perhaps the most horrific. ~ Christopher Riche Evans
Forgivable quotes by Christopher Riche Evans
At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape. ~ Federico Garcia Lorca
Forgivable quotes by Federico Garcia Lorca
My experience of people is that they are infinitely forgivable. ~ Paul Bettany
Forgivable quotes by Paul Bettany
When someone insults you, even murder is forgivable? I see. What you told me is very important. You insulted that innocent old man's life. So I changed one of your guns into a banana. You should savor your last meal as best you can. ~ Hirohiko Araki
Forgivable quotes by Hirohiko Araki
Rather, we are who God says we are: his children. We are forgivable. We are changeable. We are capable. We are moldable. And we are bound by the limitless love of God. ~ Craig Groeschel
Forgivable quotes by Craig Groeschel
Most important, though, is the unspoken understanding that both of you are people - weak, wounded, fragile, forgivable people doing the very best you can under the impossible circumstances that is day-to-day existence. ~ Raphael Bob-Waksberg
Forgivable quotes by Raphael Bob-Waksberg
There are no identical twins, or forgivable sins. ~ Ozzy Osbourne
Forgivable quotes by Ozzy Osbourne
We only do harm to ourselves when we harbor resentment and vitriol toward another. I do believe that everything is forgivable; some things are inexcusable but forgivable. ~ Linda Thompson
Forgivable quotes by Linda Thompson
I let my anger consume me."

"It's understandable," she said.

"It may be understandable," replied Pug, "but it is no more forgivable for being understandable. ~ Raymond E. Feist
Forgivable quotes by Raymond E. Feist
But there comes a moment in history when ignorance is no longer a forgivable offense ... a ~ Dan Brown
Forgivable quotes by Dan Brown
How do you let go of anger? How do you release a fury you've been standing on for so long, you would stumble if it were yanked away? As Sully sat in his old room, holding the letter, he felt himself lifting off from his bitterness, the way one lifts off in a dream. Elliot Gray, an enemy for so long, was now seen differently, a man forgivable for his mistake. ~ Mitch Albom
Forgivable quotes by Mitch Albom
Forgive them, you might say, for they know not what they do. But there comes a moment in history when ignorance is no longer a forgivable offense, a moment when only wisdom has the power to absolve. ~ Dan Brown
Forgivable quotes by Dan Brown
His action was inexcusable, but it was forgivable. ~ David Ingerson
Forgivable quotes by David Ingerson
No. You hurt people because you didn't have any idea what love really was. You were trying to understand it in the only way you knew how. It's horrible, yes. But it's forgivable. I forgive you. I forgive a thousand worse things you may have done. I can forgive anything. ~ Laurelin Paige
Forgivable quotes by Laurelin Paige
Stupid is forgivable, but ignorance is intolerable. The first is a birth defect, the second is a choice. ~ Lucee Lovett
Forgivable quotes by Lucee Lovett
God's mercy does not make sin tolerable; it makes sin forgivable. The proud and the depraved alike must kneel at the same feet for mercy. For those willing, God turns sin's empty cistern into a deep wellspring overflowing with love. ~ Beth Moore
Forgivable quotes by Beth Moore
What was it called, that symbol of the serpent eating its own tail? It probably signified infinity, endlessness, timelessness. But for me it would mean the effort to love well going on and on, round and round, always imperfect and always forgivable. The best we could ever do for each other. ~ Patricia Gaffney
Forgivable quotes by Patricia Gaffney
People do bad things in their lives. And those sort of things are forgivable. That's half the point of having confession in church - you need to be able to fess up to what you've done. ~ Macaulay Culkin
Forgivable quotes by Macaulay Culkin
Ambiguity around ambiguity is forgivable in an unpublished poet and expected of an arts student on the pull: for a professional comedian demoting himself to the role of 'thinker', with stadiums full of young people hanging on his every word, it won't really do. ~ Robert Webb
Forgivable quotes by Robert Webb
Engineers are not superhuman. They make mistakes in their assumptions, in their calculations, in their conclusions. That they make mistakes is forgivable; that they catch them is imperative. Thus it is the essence of modern engineering not only to be able to check one's own work but also to have one's work checked and to be able to check the work of others. ~ Henry Petroski
Forgivable quotes by Henry Petroski
Few books today are forgivable. Black on canvas, silence on the screen, an empty white sheet of paper are perhaps feasible. ~ R.D. Laing
Forgivable quotes by R.D. Laing
Without patience or negotiation, there is bitterness: anger that has forgotten where it came from. There is a nagger who wants it done now and can't be bothered to explain why. And there is a naggee who no longer has the heart to explain that his or her resistance is grounded in some sensible counter-arguments or, alternatively, in some touching and perhaps even forgivable flaws of character.
The two parties just hope the problem – so boring to them both – will simply go away. ~ Alain De Botton
Forgivable quotes by Alain De Botton
She had stepped into more than his arms for a dance, had waited for the precise seconds so it was possible and socially forgivable - the sunlit wedding procession, the eternal meal - and she had passed him a billet-doux as if they were within a Dumas. The note she had written said Good-bye. Then it said Hello. And then it reminded him that A message sent by pigeon to The Hague can sometimes change everything. She had, like one of those partially villainous and always evolving heroines, turned his heart over on the wrong day. ~ Michael Ondaatje
Forgivable quotes by Michael Ondaatje
It is forgivable to say nothing out of ignorance; it's inexcusable to remain silent once awareness dawns. ~ Joshua Ferris
Forgivable quotes by Joshua Ferris
One sacrifice has to be made: never use harsh or rude language. Foul language you can use; foul language doesn't hurt. Foul language is forgivable (though it is bad). But rude language cannot be forgiven. ~ Harbhajan Singh Yogi
Forgivable quotes by Harbhajan Singh Yogi
Adorable in her not-very-bright submissiveness, charming in her childlike delight in shiny floors, even forgivable in her spiteful competition for the whitest, brightest wash, Madison Avenue's girl-next door is all the American male could wish for: unless, by some miscarriage, he should fancy human companionship. ~ Vivian Gornick
Forgivable quotes by Vivian Gornick
It is not for us to know who does and does not manage to accept forgiveness, but if the love really never stops, if God really does long for every lost soul, then in principle God regards as forgivable a whole load of stuff we really don't want forgiven, thank you. People who use airliners to murder thousands of office workers, people who strut about Norwegian summer camps stealing the lives of teenagers with careful shots to the head, people who drive over their gay neighbor in their pick-up truck and then reverse and do it again, people who torture children for sexual pleasure: God is apparently ready to rush right in there and give them all a hug, the bastard. We don't want that. We want justice, dammit, if not in this world then in the next. We want God's extra-niceness confined to deserving cases such as, for example, us, and a reliable process of judgment put in place which will ensure that the child-murderers are ripped apart with red-hot tongs. ~ Francis Spufford
Forgivable quotes by Francis Spufford
I'm highly aware that some impulses are harder to ignore than others. I'm aware that fear of consequences causes us to guard our secrets. But it's our actions when faced with temptation that define who we are. It's our courage in admitting what we've done wrong that makes us forgivable. ~ Gena Showalter
Forgivable quotes by Gena Showalter
Moreover, the context is oppressively confined and local. None of these provincials, or their deity, seems to have any idea of a world beyond the desert, the flocks and herds, and the imperatives of nomadic subsistence. This is forgivable on the part of the provincial yokels, obviously, but then what of their supreme guide and wrathful tyrant? Perhaps he was made in their image, even if not graven? ~ Christopher Hitchens
Forgivable quotes by Christopher Hitchens
The two Mast Houses just within the Victory Gate of Portsmouth Dockyard are raised above the water on piloti. They are structures of remarkable grace, clinker-built, painted the palest green. They are vast, as they needed to be. Their survival is an industrial site devoted for a century to the servicing of mastless vessels is a matter for celebration. The use of which the more southerly is put is a matter for obloquy: the Mary Rose Shop is a repository of tawdry, insipid tat. It's the sort of stuff to make me wince- a dismal, timid inventory of mediocrity. Bad taste is forgivable. It's no taste which is so disheartening. ~ Jonathan Meades
Forgivable quotes by Jonathan Meades
I think, Sir, my potential got a hell of a thumping when I happened to be born where I was born with the parents I got'.

Your potential boy, is what you achieve regardless of unavoidable disadvantages, what what you can conveniently call upon as an excuse for intellectual lethary, or the lesser, and in most cases forgivable, crime of failure. ~ David Logan
Forgivable quotes by David Logan
