Thomas S. Monson

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

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

Forgiveness is the best revenge.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.

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

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.

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.

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.
