My desire is to stand up and brush myself off when I make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.

When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.

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

Forgiveness really is so misunderstood, as well as the power it can release in an individual.

Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.

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

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

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

The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
