Greatest Sin Quote of the Day

by John Bryant | Feb 14, 2010 | Bryant Quotes & Bryantisms

“I remember being in Vienna, Austria, and a businessman leaned over to me and said, John, the greatest sin is not to do bad. All men will do bad, thus all men will sin. The greatest sin, is not to do good when you could.”
