Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness anger concealed often hardens into revenge.

Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.

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

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

The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.

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

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.
