'Tis the most tender part of love, each other to forgive.

To err is human; to forgive, infrequent.

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness

Yes, this is what good is: to forgive evil. There is no other good

If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Nobody forgets where he buried the hatchet.

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever.

He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.

Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself.

It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.
