Forgiveness

"There's no point in burying a hatchet if you're going to put up a marker on the site."-Sydney Harris

"He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass." ~George Herbert

"Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator. Forgiving seems almost unnatural. Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do. But forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule." ~Lewis B. Smedes

"Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." ~Mark Twain

"Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation." ~Roberto Assagioli
