When there's that forgiveness present and compassion, it just helps you live so much easier.

Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.

It is very east to forgive others their mistakes it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.

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

Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.

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

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

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

We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness.
