The Church used to proverb

 The Church used to absolve sinners; today it has the gall to absolve sins.
  Nicolas Gomez Davila

 I cannot absolve sins
  Nancy Cartwright

 Of course, Third World leaders love you. By ascribing third world ills to First World sins, you absolve them of blame for their countries' failure to advance.

 History will absolve me
  Fidel Castro

 Forgiveness does not absolve you from consequences,
  Tom DeLay

 Condemn me, it does not matter, history will absolve me.
  Fidel Castro

 History will judge them harshly and their people will not absolve them, if they fail.
  Kofi Annan

 I want to make it clear this does not absolve the players for their part in this season.

 Nothing is so soothing to our self esteem as to find our bad traits in our forebears. It seems to absolve us.

 White shall not neutralize the black, nor good Compensate bad in man, absolve him so: Life's business being just the terrible choice
  Robert Browning

 I want to make it clear this does not absolve the players for their part in this season. In no way does this mean there will be no further changes. No way. The fact is there is a lot of blame to be spread around and a lot of it falls on the shoulders of people that were in that locker room.

 I don't absolve my father completely of his responsibility for what he did to us... I feel compassion, maybe. He had his demons. But I still can't understand how a man can walk away from children. And leave them to starve, as we nearly did, if it wasn't for my mother going out and begging.

 If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.

 We must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd, lively or sad, loyal or corrupt, from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant, which leave no trace behind them.
  Sarah Bernhardt

 In the Church, priests also are sinners. But I am personally convinced that the constant presence in the press of the sins of Catholic priests, especially in the United States, is a planned campaign, as the percentage of these offenses among priests is not higher than in other categories, and perhaps it is even lower.
