I wish for you the wisdom to realize that forgiveness has nothing to do with an apology.

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

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.

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.

Forgiveness is the best revenge.

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

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

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.

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.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

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

Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals.

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.

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.
