Forgiveness
When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.
Catherine Ponder
There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.
Bryant H. McGill
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi
To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.
Robert Muller
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
Oscar Wilde
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
Lewis B. Smedes
Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature.
George Bernard Shaw
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.
Thomas S. Szasz
Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.
Peter Ustinov (English actor and writer, b. 1921)
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.
Emo Philips
Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.
Sara Paddison
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
Lewis B. Smedes
