William Penn

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Where God does not govern, tyrants will rule.

In fine, he that is drunk is not a Man: Because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.

Children had rather be making of Tools and Instruments of Play; Shaping, Drawing, Framing, and Building, &c. than getting some Rules of Propriety of Speech by Heart: And those also would follow with more Judgment, and less Trouble and Time.

We meet on the broad pathway of good faith and good will; no advantage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness and love. I will not call you children, — for parents sometimes chide their children too severely; nor brothers only, — for brothers differ. The friendship between me and you I will not compare to a chain; for that the rains might rust, or the falling tree might break. We are the same as if one man’s body were to be divided into two parts, we are all one flesh and blood.

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

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.

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.

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 secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.

Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Forgiveness is the best revenge.
