We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.

If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn.

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that.

Forgive many things in others nothing in yourself.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.

Forgiveness is indifference. Forgiveness is impossible while love lasts.

Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.
