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

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

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

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.

We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness.

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

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

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
