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

Reversing your treatment of the man you have wronged is better than asking his forgiveness.

It's far easier to forgive an enemy after you've got even with him.

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

Forgiveness is indifference. Forgiveness is impossible while love lasts.

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

Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
