~ Mahatma Gandhi
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive.
~
Mother Teresa
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought
to be like a canceled note -- torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
~
Henry Ward Beecher
We all like to forgive, and love best not those

~
Reinhold Niebuhr
The freedom to be at peace in our own skins - that's what forgiveness allows. We relinquish this
freedom when we hold onto anger and resentment. Enormous amounts of energy are wasted
when we hold back our love, hold onto hate, and harbor acrimonious feelings. The only remedy is letting go, and being willing to forgive.

Naomi Drew
Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

~ Mahatma Gandhi
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
~
Saint Augustine
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid
of the power to love. There is some
good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven;
for everyone has need to be forgiven.
~ George Herbert
When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us.

Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
