Forgive Quotes
-
Forgive us all, for we all have trespasses.
Alan Paton
-
When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.
Oswald Chambers
-
And if your friend does evil to you, say to him, ''I forgive you for what you did to me, but how can I forgive you for what you did to yourself?
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil that good may come of it. We are too ready to retaliate, rather than forgive, or gain by love and information. And yet we could hurt no man that we believe loves us. Let us, then, try what love will do: for if men do once see that we love them, we should soon find they would not harm us. Force may subdue, but love gains; and he that forgives first, wins the laurel.
William Penn
-
I shall be an autocrat: that's my trade. And the good Lord will forgive me: that's his.
Catherine the Great
-
But the words she spoke of Mrs Harris, lambs could not forgive ... nor worms forget.
Charles Dickens
-
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
-
Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.
Marvin J. Ashton
-
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake
-
Children start out loving their parents, but as they grow older and discover their parents are human, they become judgmental. And sometimes, when they mature, they forgive their parents, especially when they discover they are also human.
Oscar Wilde
-
We are not here to fix, change or belittle another person. We are here to support, forgive and heal one another.
Marianne Williamson
-
We are not perfect. We make mistakes. We screw up but then we forgive and move forward.
Nicholas Sparks
-
But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony - forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?
Erich Maria Remarque
-
Dear God, Please bring your Light Into the darkened corners Of our world today. May Divine Love Cast out all fear, And peace prevail on earth. Forgive us, Oh God, For our errors. Forgive others for theirs, As well. Please help us, God. Amen
Marianne Williamson
-
What is in reality cowardice and faithlessness, we call charity, and consider it the part of benevolence sometimes to forgive men's evil practice for the sake of their accurate faith, and sometimes to forgive their confessed heresy for the sake of their admirable practice.
John Ruskin
-
Yes, this is what good is: to forgive evil. There is no other good.
Antonio Porchia
-
Forgive and forget, but never forget to forgive. You may find a happier heart is the key to a happier life.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
As you get older, you have more and more layers of experience to forgive, more layers of heartbreak, more layers of what you might think of as failure.
Marianne Williamson
