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

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

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

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

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

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.

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

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