Power of the Heart
Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize
or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them
and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time—just
like it does for you and me.
David McArthur & Bruce McArthur, The Intelligent Heart
Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong
or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the
wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn
from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness
brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively.
Catherine Ponder
When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition
by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way
to dissolve that link and get free.
Israel Zangwill
The Past: Our cradle, not our prison; there is danger as well as appeal in its
glamour. The past is for inspiration, not imitation, for continuation, not repetition.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the whole world
will be blind and toothless.
Forgiveness is giving up the possibility of a better past.

I've learned that when you have an argument with your spouse, the first one who
says, 'I'm sorry I hurt your feelings; please forgive me,' is the winner.

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent;
the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he
becomes wise.
Mahatma Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was YOU.
Jean Paul Richter
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving
another.
Koran
He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward
from God; for he loveth not the unjust doers.
Henry Ward Beecher
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not
forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note--torn in two, and burned
up, so that it never can be shown against one.
Ausonius
Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.
Madame Dorothée Deluzy
It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.
Mahatma Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
George Bernard Shaw
The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.
Josh Billings
There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
Oscar Wilde
Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them so much.
Alexander Pope
To err is human; to forgive, divine.
Ed Howe
A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance
with a man.
