Yep, it's Lazarus Long. Page 352 in my Ace 1988 Edition of "Time Enough for Love," the Paperback Reprint of G.P. Putnam's 1973 original Hardcover Printing. However, the full quote is: "Sin lies in only hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful-just stupid).
Dad, gun nut, motorhead, shaved-head biker with a foul mouth and a bad attitude. Living the dream in Free America after escaping the Volksrepublik of Massachusetts...

(Liberty)"...totally unhinged (but in a fun way)." (Marko)"...an insane yet friendly hybrid of Dr. Evil and John Malkovich..." (Lissa)"You, my friend, have a twisted mind!"

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.

Dammit.
Now I have to take another look at my list and make sure they really need hurting.
Key word being "unnecessarily". Remember that...
Um... Are you sure that was Lazarus? I've been thinking it was Jubal. Could be wrong, tho'...

Hope this helps.
I like mine better: Sin is knowing and doing it anyways.
Let me try again. Sin is knowing better and doing it anyways.
Good one :-)
Well, obviously I can get behind any quote by RAH as a quote of the day...very quotable gentleman.
My wife and I constantly use his definition of love(The happiness of another person being essential to your own happiness) to describe our marriage.
I always preferred " Be wary of strong drink, it can cause you to shoot at tax collectors and miss."
:-D
