sins of omission and commission

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., 1908.

"So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."
- James 4:17

“The omission of good is no less reprehensible than the commission of evil.”
- Plutarch [46-120 CE]

“You commit a sin of omission if you do not utilize all the power that is within you. All men have claims on man, and to the man with special talents, this is a very special claim."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. [1841-1935]
