One can’t relive one’s life. Forgiveness is not what’s difficult one’s always too ready to forgive. And it does no good, that’s obvious.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
And as I ask for your forgiveness, I also ask for your support to keep all things in perspective and keep all things in proportion. The good of nine years versus the bad.
John Rowland
I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not to give the other person peace. Forgiveness is for you. Take that opportunity.
Mackenzie Phillips
And the only thing to do with a sin is to confess, do penance and then, after some kind of decent interval, ask for forgiveness.
Joseph J. Ellis
Any story about revenge is ultimately a story about forgiveness, redemption, or the futility of revenge.
Nick Wechsler
I love my children. That will never change. I have prayed to them for forgiveness and hope that they will forgive me. I never meant to hurt them!!
Susan Smith
The principle that certain sins should not receive the Church’s testimony of forgiveness was probably no novelty at all, but had been applied in various churches perhaps, however, with no strict consistency.
Robert Rainy
I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It’s a strange truth, but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It’s not something that happens overnight. It’s an evolution of the heart.
Sue Monk Kidd
Forgiveness isn’t about condoning what has happened to you or someone else’s actions against you.
Jennifer O’Neill
Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness.
Dar Williams
There is no forgiveness in nature.
Ugo Betti
I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation.
Jayson Blair
I’m a lapsed Quaker. I don’t go to meetings any more. But I’m very drawn to Catholicism – all that glitter. I’d love to be a Catholic. I think it would be fantastic – faith, forgiveness, absolution, extreme unction – all these wonderful words. I don’t think anyone who was ever born a Catholic hasn’t died a Catholic, no matter how lapsed they are.
Kate Atkinson
China’s idea of fair trade is government subsidies of its textile and apparel exports to the United States, currency manipulation, and forgiveness of loans by its government banks.
