If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.

Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.

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

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

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

We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections, admit our failures, and plead to God for clemency.

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

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