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

I do not bring forgiveness with me, nor forgetfulness. The only ones who can forgive are dead the living have no right to forget.

Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.

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

God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.

Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

Forgiveness is the final form of love.

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

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