William Penn

Friendship is the next Pleasure we may hope for: And where we find it not at home, or have no home to find it in, we may seek it abroad. It is an Union of Spirits, a Marriage of Hearts, and the Bond thereof Vertue.

For disappointments, that come not by our own folly, they are the trials or corrections of Heaven: and it is our own fault, if they prove not our advantage.

To be innocent is to be not guilty; but to be virtuous is to overcome our evil inclinations.

Not to be provok’d is best: But if mov’d, never correct till the Fume is spent; For every Stroke our Fury strikes, is sure to hit our selves at last.

If it be an evil to judge rashly or untruly any single man, how much a greater sin it is to condemn a whole people.

A Man in Business must put up many Affronts, if he loves his own Quiet.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.

Forgiveness is the best revenge.

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

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.
