He who never acts fails by definition.

Some of the Ten Commandments are positive like love God and your neighbor as yourself.  Others are negative like do not steal or commit adultery.  Doing a bad thing is a sin of commission.  Not doing a good thing like loving your neighbor is a sin of omission; maybe not quite as bad as stealing from your neighbor or coveting his wife, but a sin none the less.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) once said “anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”  You might say inaction is a sin of omission.
