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

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

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.

We think that forgiveness is weakness, but it's absolutely not it takes a very strong person to forgive.

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

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.

Forgiveness means letting go of the past.

People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.

Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.

Forgiveness really is so misunderstood, as well as the power it can release in an individual.
