Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

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.

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