I think we learn the most from imperfect relationships - things like forgiveness and compassion.

Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.

I shall be an autocrat, that's my trade and the good Lord will forgive me, that's his.

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

I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

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

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

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

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

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
