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.

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

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

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

God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections, admit our failures, and plead to God for clemency.

Forgiveness is indifference. Forgiveness is impossible while love lasts.

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

Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that.

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

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