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

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

The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.

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

Forgiveness is the final form of love.

Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.

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

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

People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.
