---

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man had need to be forgiven.

LORD HERBERT

---

Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

JESUS

---

True and genuine forgiveness, that which our Lord commands, buries all offenses beyond all hope of resurrection in the deep bosom of the ocean, and knows them again no more forever. Indeed, a friendship cemented by forgiveness is like iron welded--stronger at the point of juncture than elsewhere; or like a broken bone repaired--it will break anywhere else sooner than at the place of former fracture.

R. H. BENNETT

---

MARGARET ATWOOD

---

C.L.W.

---

People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.

J. K. ROWLING

---

HENRY WARD BEECHER

---

For there are two kinds of forgiveness in the world: the one you practice because everything really is all right, and what went before is mended. The other kind of forgiveness you practice because someone needs desperately to be forgiven, or because you need just as badly to forgive them, for a heart can grab hold of old wounds and go sour as milk over them.

CATHERYNNE M. VALENTE

---

"Forgive and forget" goes the expression, and for our idealized magnanimous selves, that was all you needed. But for our actual selves the relationship between those two actions wasn't so straightforward. In most cases we had to forget a little bit before we could forgive; when we no longer experienced the pain as fresh, the insult was easier to forgive, which in turn made it less memorable, and so on.

TED CHIANG

---

To err is human, to forgive, divine.

ALEXANDER POPE

---

Forgiveness is like money. We want to get it, not give it.

JENTEZEN FRANKLIN

---

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.

RICK WARREN

---

I love you and I forgive you. I am like you and you are like me. I love all people. I love the world. I love creating. Everything in our life should be based on love.

RAY BRADBURY

---

Forgiveness, that noblest of all self-denial, is a virtue, which he alone that can practice in himself, can willingly believe in another.

CHARLES CALEB COLTON

---

To receive an injury is to be wounded; but to forgive and forget it is the cure.
