Mark Twain

I know all those people. I have friendly, social, and criminal relations with the whole lot of them.

The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.

Be virtuous and you will be eccentric.

Faith is believing what you know ain’t so.

No God and no religion can survive ridicule. No political church, no nobility, no royalty or other fraud, can face ridicule in a fair field, and live.

Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.

Forgiveness is the best revenge.

Force may subdue, but love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel.

I forgive you for all the times you’ve f**ked me in the past and for all the times you’re going to f**k me in the future.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.

Forgiveness keeps you from being bound by something the other person might never set right.

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.

Life is short, Break the Rules. Forgive quickly, Kiss SLOWLY. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably And never regret anything. That makes you smile.

Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals.

We all like to forgive, and love best not those who offend us least, nor who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.

In the shadow of my hurt, forgiveness feels like a decision to reward my enemy. But in the shadow of the cross, forgiveness is merely a gift from one undeserving soul to the next.

This thing is really silly. I don’t want to hurt you anymore, and I’m too powerful for you to hurt. I forgive you for all the times you’ve f*cked me in the past and for all the times you’re going to f*ck me in the future.

I don’t think people understand that you can forgive a person and not allow them back into your life. That is possible, very possible.

Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free … and realizing you were the prisoner.
