Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness.

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

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

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself for every man has need to be forgiven.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

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

Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.

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