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

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

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

Forgiveness means letting go of the past.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
