“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.” 

“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.” 

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.

Suffering is a gift; in its hidden mercy.

Grace comes to forgive and then forgive again.

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.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.
