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.
Lewis B. Smedes

Forgiving makes me feel free and light. I forgive everyone, including myself
Louise Hay

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

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 people are less likely to be hateful, depressed, hostile, anxious, angry, and neurotic.
Sonja Lyubomirsky

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.
Lurlene McDaniel

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

Forgiving the people that hurt us most allows us to heal from the wounds they left.
LeCrae

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.
Alexander Payne

Forgiving the men who killed my parents and brother was a process, a journey into deeper and deeper prayer.

It's [the word “sorry”] the most infuriating word in the English language. Just a cheap way to behave badly then shelve responsibility by putting the onus on the other person to be forgiving.
Minette Walters

God always forgives when you are totally repentant and you desire to change. He forgives... and He never gets tired of forgiving. Never. You may get tired asking. I hope not. He never, never tires of forgiving. Never.

They're [children] less forgiving. You have to be very conscious of the fact that they're not going to just accept things they're going to question. They're going to move around if you bore them. They'll actually leave. So you really have to be on your toes.
Linda Woolverton
Image
Jesus died as He had lived-praying, forgiving, loving, sacrificing, trusting, quoting Scripture. If I die as I have lived, how will I die?
Nancy Leigh DeMoss

I thought I was going to be a lot more freaked out by being naked onstage. I think on film I would have been more freaked out, because film is less forgiving. But onstage it's lit so beautifully. It would make my mother look good.
