Forgiveness

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

- Mahatma Gandhi


"Resentment is like a glass of poison that a man drinks; then he sits down and waits for his enemy to die."

- Anonymous


"Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively."

- David McArthur


"One of the biggest misconceptions about forgiveness is that by forgiving someone we somehow make right what they did. We believe that if we forgive, then we condone their actions.

Nothing could be further from the truth."


- Mastin Kipp, The Daily Love
