Forgiving isn't something you do for someone else. It's something you do for yourself. It's saying, 'You're not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.' It's saying, 'You don't get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.
Jodi Picoult

Forgiving yourself may be for many people, at least for myself, extremely difficult. And then in a larger context, I will say that I'm constantly astonished by those who pray daily, Forgive me my sins as I forgive those who sin against me, and beat very loudly the war drum.

Forgiving is...recognizing the injury, owning the pain, & reaching out.

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory.
Lewis B. Smedes

Forgiving is tough. Excusing is easy. What a mistake it is to confuse forgiving with being mushy, soft, gutless, and oh, so understanding. Before we forgive, we stiffen our spine and we hold a person accountable. And only then, in tough-minded judgment, can we do the outrageously impossible thing: we can forgive.

Forgiving is not forgetting its actually remembering--remembering and not using your right to hit back. Its a second chance for a new beginning. And the remembering part is particularly important. Especially if you dont want to repeat what happened.
Desmond Tutu

Forgiving is a gift to the forgiver as well as to the perpetrator.
Desmond Tutu

Forgiving and being forgiven are two names for the same thing. The important thing is that a discord has been resolved.
C. S. Lewis

Forgiving is divine. Plead for the guidance of the Spirit of the Lord to forgive wrongs, to overcome faults, and to strengthen relationships.
Dallin H. Oaks

Forgiving yourself, not guilt, increases personal accountability.
David D. Burns

Forgiving someone does not mean you condone their behavior. The act of forgiveness takes place in your own mind. It really has nothing to do with the other person. The reality of true forgiveness lies in setting ourselves free from holding on to the pain. It is simply an act of releasing yourself from the negative energy.
Louise Hay
Image
Forgiving's a choice you make—a gift you give to somebody even if they don't deserve it. It costs nothing, but it makes you feel rich for giving it away.

Forgiving is not about forgetting, it's letting go of the hurt

I have grown more forgiving. I accept that not everything is for me. I'm not as in love with my own opinions as I used to be. And anger is not something that comes to me as quickly as it once did.
Ira Kaplan

It was about forgiving. I understood that forgiveness itself was strong, durable—like strands of a web weaving around us, holding us.
