“A winner rebukes and forgives;
a loser is too timid to rebuke and too petty to forgive"
Sidney J. Harris

“Forgiveness does not equal forgetting.
It is about healing the memory of the harm,
not erasing it.”
Ken Hart

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

begun when you recall those who
hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.”
Lewis B. Smedes

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.”
Catherine Ponder

“To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.
In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.”
Robert Muller

“Forgiveness does not mean that we suppress anger;
forgiveness means that we have asked for a miracle:
the ability to see through mistakes that someone has
made to the truth that lies in all of our hearts.
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times,
it feels more painful than the wound we suffered,
to forgive the one that inflicted it.
And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts
towards ourselves.
The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
Marianne Williamson

“All religions stress the power of forgiveness,
and this power is never more deeply felt than when someone is dying.
Through forgiving and being forgiven, we purify ourselves of the darkness of what we have done, and prepare ourselves most completely for the journey through death"
Sogyal Rinpoche

“A wise man will make haste to forgive,
because he knows the full value of time
and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain."
Rambler

“You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstances
instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the
person rather than angry with him. You tend to
have nothing left to remember to say about it all.
You understand the suffering that drove the offense
to begin with. You are not waiting for anything.
You are not wanting anything. There is no lariat
snare around your ankle stretching from way
back there to here. You are free to go.
It may not have turned out to be a happily ever after,
but most certainly there is now a fresh once upon
a time waiting for you from this day forward."
Pinkola-Estes

“Forgiveness unleashes joy. It brings peace.
It washes the slate clean.
It sets all the highest values of love in motion."
John MacArthur

“It is freeing to become aware that we do not
have to be victims of our past and can learn new ways of responding.
But there is a step beyond this recognition…
It is the step of forgiveness.
Forgiveness is love practiced among people
who love poorly. It sets us free without wanting anything in return."
Henri Nouwen

“There are those who will tell you why it
is wise to never forget the pain of the past.
But if you look closely at the anger,
sorrow, and bitterness that has hardened their faces,
then you will also see why learning to
forgive is the better of the two paths.”
Alexandra Asseily

“Forgiveness allows us to let go of the pain "
in the memory and if we let go of the pain in
the memory we can have the memory but it
does not control us. When memory controls
us we are then the puppets of the past.”
Guy Finley

“Without forgiveness, there’s no future”
Desmond Tutu

“Forgiveness is the economy of the heart …
forgiveness saves the expense of anger,
the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.”
“Resentment is one burden that is
incompatible with your success.
Hannah Moore

Always be the first to forgive;
and forgive yourself first always"
Dan Zadra

“It may be infinitely worse to refuse to forgive than to murder, because the latter may be an impulse of a moment of heat; whereas the former is a cold and deliberate choice of the heart."
George MacDonald

“Forgiveness unleashes joy.
It brings peace. It washes the slate clean.
It sets all the highest values of love in motion."

“One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is
to forgive everybody everything every night before you go to bed."
Ann Landers

“The supreme act of courage is that of forgiving ourselves.
That which I was not but could have been.
That which I would have done but did not do.
Can I find the fortitude to remember in truth,
to understand, to submit, to forgive and to be free to move on in time?"
Kauffman
