You don’t have to turn this into something. It doesn’t have to upset you. Things can’t shape our decisions by themselves.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

When you are offended at any man’s fault, immediately turn to yourself and reflect in what manner you yourself have erred: for example, in thinking that money is a good thing or pleasure, or a bit of reputation, and the like.

With what are you discontented? With the badness of men? Recall to your mind this conclusion, that rational animals exist for one another, and that to endure is a part of justice, and that men do wrong involuntarily.

When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you.

It’s silly to try to escape other people’s faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.

A man must learn a great deal to enable him to pass a correct judgment on another man’s acts.

Look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion, and up with gratitude.

“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. MATTHEW 6:14–15 NLT” 

“Forgive as often as you must and don’t put limits on it.” 

“You may have heard the saying, “Refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and hoping it kills the other person.” 

“When we refuse to forgive, we are in disobedience to God’s Word. We open a door for Satan to start all kinds of trouble in our lives. We hinder the flow of love toward others. Our faith is blocked and our prayers are hindered. We are miserable and lose our joy. Our attitudes are poisoned and we spew the poison onto everyone we meet. The price we pay to hang on to our bitter feelings is definitely not worth it. Unforgiveness does have devastating effects, so do yourself a favor… forgive!” 

“Mercy is the stuff you give to people that don't deserve it.” 

“Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.” –

“Forgive me if I never visit. I am from the fields, you know, and while quite at home with the dandelions, make a sorry figure in a drawing room.” 

To err is human, to forgive, divine.

If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.

“Not "Forgive us for our sins" but "Smite us for our iniquities" should be the prayer of man to a most just God.” 

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.

“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.” 

“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.

"Yet you poisoned me with a book once. I should not forgive that.” 

“Society often forgives the criminal; it never forgives the dreamer.”
