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

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

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.

God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.

Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.

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

Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that.

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

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

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