Quote by Robert G. Ingersoll

If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn't pay Smith.


If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn't

Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between personal forgiveness and practical obligations. It suggests that while receiving forgiveness from a higher power may bring emotional relief or spiritual liberation, it does not absolve one of their earthly responsibilities and debts. In this case, forgiveness from God does not resolve the financial indebtedness owed to Smith. It serves as a reminder that personal forgiveness and practical consequences are separate and shouldn't be confused or conflated.
