To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.

It's far easier to forgive an enemy after you've got even with him.

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

Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

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

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.

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

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

You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
