Franklin P. AdamsTo err is human; to forgive, infrequent.
AesopNo act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Edward G. Bulwer-LyttonPatience is not passive;
on the contrary, it is active;
it is concentrated strength.
Albert CamusAbsolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction, therefore it destroys freedom.
Charles INever make a defence or apology before you be accused.
François Duc de La RochefoucauldMost of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them.
Sir John FortescueI should, indeed, prefer twenty men to escape death through mercy, than one innocent to be condemned unjustly.
Mahatma Mohandas K. GandhiIt is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
William HazlittThe only vice
that can not be forgiven
is hypocrisy.
Eric HofferThe 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.
Thomas JeffersonI know it will give great offence to the New England clergy, but the advocate of religious freedom is to expect neither peace nor forgiveness from them.
Jesus of NazarethBut I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
Jesus of NazarethBeware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Jesus of NazarethWoe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Jesus of NazarethAnd forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
John F. KennedyForgive, but never forget.
John F. KennedyForgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Howard MartinForgiving releases you from the punishment of a self-made prison where you are both the inmate and the jailer.
Lance MorrowNot to forgive is to be imprisoned by the past,
by old grievances that do not permit life to proceed with new business.
Not to forgive is to yield oneself to another's control...
to be locked into a sequence of act and response,
of outrage and revenge, tit for tat, escalating always.
The present is endlessly overwhelmed and devoured by the past.
Forgiveness frees the forgiver.
It extracts the forgiver from someone else's nightmare.
Harriet NelsonForgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself.
St. PeterTherefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
PlatoBe kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
Jonathan RauchA liberal society stands on the proposition that we should all take seriously the idea that we might be wrong. This means we must place no one, including ourselves, beyond the reach of criticism (no final say); it means that we must allow people to err, even where the error offends and upsets, as it often will.
William SaroyanGood people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
Eric SchaubSome mistakes cannot be redeemed but by forgiveness.
