Best Quotes about Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.
Gandhi, Indira
We all like to forgive, and love best not those who offend us least, nor who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.
Butler, Samuel
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. [Job 14:17]
Bible
Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. It implies a discovery of weakness, which we are more careful to conceal than a crime. Many a man will confess his crimes to a friend; but I never knew a man that would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one.
Chesterfield, Lord
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.
Thomas Szasz
This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.
Bacon, Francis
We easily pardon an offense we had part in.
Juoy
The condition of being forgiven is self-abandonment. The proud man prefers self-reproach, however painful --because the reproached self isn't abandoned; it remains intact.
Huxley, Aldous
Forgiveness is the healing of wounds caused by another. You choose to let go of a past wrong and no longer be hurt by it. Forgiveness is a strong move to make, like turning your shoulders sideways to walk quickly on a crowded sidewalk. It's your move.
Real Live Preacher
If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. They will make note of this and not remain in your debt long.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Never does the human soul appear so strong and noble as when it forgoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
Dietrich, Marlene
God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err.
Euripides
Those who easily forgive invite offenses.
Corneille, Pierre
It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.
Deluzy, Madame Dorothe
We pardon to the extent that we love.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
One can't relive one's life. Forgiveness is not what's difficult; one's always too ready to forgive. And it does no good, that's obvious.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand
It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on.
Real Live Preacher
Forgiveness is almost a selfish act because of its immense benefits to the one who forgives.
Lawana Blackwell
The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.
Marden, Orison Swett
Forgotten is forgiven.
Of course God will forgive me; that's His job.
Heine, Heinrich
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
Gibran, Kahlil
Absolute virtue is impossible and the republic of forgiveness leads, with implacable logic, to the republic of the guillotine.
Camus, Albert
To err is human, to forgive is divine.
Pope, Alexander
The hatred you're carrying is a live coal in your heart - far more damaging to yourself than to them.
Lawana Blackwell
When you are happy you can forgive a great deal.
Diana, Princess of Wales
God has a big eraser.
Zeoli, Billy
Giving The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.
Edwards, Tryon
Pray you now, forget and forgive.
William Shakespeare
Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature!
Shaw, George Bernard
Their errors have been weighed and found to have been dust in the balance; if their sins were as scarlet, they are now white as snow: they have been washed in the blood of the mediator and the redeemer, Time.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?
Sophocles
Those that do you a very ill deed will never forgive you.
Proverb
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
Richter, Jean Paul
There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
Josh Billings
It is a very delicate job to forgive a man, without lowering him in his own estimation, and yours too.
Shaw, Henry Wheeler
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
Balzac, Honore De
A reconciled friend is a double enemy.
Proverb
He who has not forgiven an enemy has never yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.
Lauter
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
Boese, Paul
Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.
Ausonius
You should pardon many things in others, nothing in yourself.
Auson
And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. [Ephesians 4:32]
Bible
If I die, I forgive you. If I live we shall see.
Proverb, Spanish
No one forgives with more grace and love than a child.
Real Live Preacher
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I cannot forgive.
Beecher, Henry Ward
