God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections, admit our failures, and plead to God for clemency.

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

Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.

When there's that forgiveness present and compassion, it just helps you live so much easier.

The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.

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

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

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