more Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes
Forgiving releases you from the punishment of a self-made prison where you are both the inmate and the jailer.
more Howard Martin quotes
Not 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.
more Lance Morrow quotes
Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself.
more Harriet Nelson quotes
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
more St. Peter quotes
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
more Plato quotes
A 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.
more Jonathan Rauch quotes
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
more William Saroyan quotes
Some mistakes cannot be redeemed but by forgiveness.
more Eric Schaub quotes
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
more Lewis Smedes quotes
There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well.
