Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.

Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.

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

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

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.

Reversing your treatment of the man you have wronged is better than asking his forgiveness.

Forgiveness is indifference. Forgiveness is impossible while love lasts.

Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.

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

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