Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
Forgive! How many will say, “forgive” and find A short of absolution in the sound To hate a little longer!
One should forgive one’s enemies, but not before they are hanged.
Nobody ever forgets where he buried a hatchet.
Many promising reconciliations have broken down because, while both parties came prepared to forgive, neither party came prepared to be forgiven.
How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the native forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.
“I can forgive, but I cannot forget,” is only another way of saying, “ I cannot forgive.”
I have looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God recognizes I will do this and forgives me.
God will forgive me; that is his business.
We never ask God to forgive anybody except where we haven’t.
To err is human; to forgive, divine.

He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for every one has need to be forgiven.
Said General Oglethorpe to Wesley, “I never forgive” “Then I hope, sir,” said Wesley. “You never sin.”
We hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.
Forgiveness is the most necessary and proper work of every man; for, though, when I do not a just thing, or a charitable, or a wise, another man may do it for men, yet no man can forgive my enemy but myself.
A brave man thinks no one his superior who does him an injury; for he has it then in his power to make himself superior to the other by forgiving it.
Life that ever needs forgiveness has for its first to forgive.
A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man, than this, that when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours.
It has been a maxim with me to admit of easy reconciliation with a person whose offence proceeded from no depravity of heart; but where I was convinced it did so, to forego, for my own sake, all opportunities of revenge. I have derived no small share of happiness from this principle.
The heart has always the pardoning power.
A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the full value of time and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.
It is hard for a haughty man ever to forgive one that has caught him in a fault, and whom he knows has reason to complain of him; his resentment never subsides till he has regained the advantage he has lost, and found means to make the other do him equal wrong.
Never does the human soul appear so strong and noble as when it forgoes revenge, and dares to forgive an injury.
