Forgiving Quotes
-
Never forget that to forgive yourself is to release trapped energy that could be doing good work in the world.
D. Patrick Miller
-
Forgiving the past means remembering the love there, and releasing all the rest as the illusion that it really was.
Marianne Williamson
-
In contrast to revenge, which is the natural, automatic reaction to transgression and which, because of the irreversibility of the action process can be expected and even calculated, the act of forgiving can never be predicted; it is the only reaction that acts in an unexpected way and thus retains, though being a reaction, something of the original character of action.
Hannah Arendt
-
You are completely at choice who you will be today in your interactions with others. Compassionate, kind, giving and forgiving will create one set of probabilities; angry, judgmental, critical and defensive will create another one altogether.
Marianne Williamson
-
The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibility - of being unable to undo what one has done - is the faculty of forgiving.
Hannah Arendt
-
God's forgiving grace is incomplete until he gives me - and I accept - a new kingdom-building dream and opportunity.
Robert H. Schuller
-
I just think it's strange when people say, "There is no God." Because I feel so connected to people and things that I just can't deny that there's a God who wants us to tell good stories and be the best we can be and forgive and be forgiven, even if we're not the best we can be. I really believe innately that we do the best we can.
Selma Blair
-
A writer writes for writers, a non-writer writes for his next-door neighbor or for the manager of the local bank branch, and he fears (often mistakenly) that they would not understand or, in any case, would not forgive his boldness.
Umberto Eco
-
A man may forgive many wrongs, but he cannot easily forgive anyone who makes it plain that his conversation is tedious.
Stevie Smith
-
I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is to arrange the meeting.
Norman Schwarzkopf
-
I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
Those undreamt accidents that have made me
Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
Being but a part of ancient ceremony
Notorious, till all my priceless things
Are but a post the passing dogs defile.
William Butler Yeats
-
As we meditate on the undeserved mercy of God in forgiving our sins, we will freely grant forgiveness and kindness to our husbands and children.
