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

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

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

I shall be an autocrat, that's my trade and the good Lord will forgive me, that's his.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

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