Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
Forgiving the people that hurt us most allows us to heal from the wounds they left.
Quote by -Lecrae
Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or putting a false label on an evil act. It means, rather, that the evil act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship. Forgiveness is a catalyst creating the atmosphere necessary for a fresh start and a new beginning.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
I pity from the bottom of my heart any nation or body of people that is so unfortunate as to get entangled in the net of slavery.
Quote by -Booker T Washington
“These are the things which might conceivably and truly make men forgive their enemies. We can only turn hate to love by understanding what are the things that men have loved; nor is it necessary to ask men to hate their loves in order to love one another. Just as two grocers are most likely to be reconciled when they remember for a moment that they are two fathers, so two nationals are most likely to be reconciled when they remember (if only for a moment) that they are two patriots.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“There was purification in punishment. Not 'Forgive us our sins,' but 'Smite us for our iniquities' should be the prayer of a man to a most just God.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.” –
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is not merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving."
Quote by -Dale Carnegie
The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
Quote by -Marianne Williamson
We forgive sometimes, and sometimes we don't. One thing that's consistent is, at least in the early going, we love to punish and we need to find a villian.
Quote by -Whoopi Goldberg
