But what sin is to the moralist and crime to the jurist so to the scientific man is ignorance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
Ignorance is not innocence but sin.
Science without conscience is the death of the soul.
It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
The greatest sin is judgment without knowledge.
The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God; the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness.
Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built.
That is the true definition of sin; when knowing right you do the lower, ah, then you sin. Where there is no knowledge, sin is not present.
There is no sin except stupidity.
There is no sin but ignorance.
