Forgiveness is choosing to love.

Forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life.

Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you; through those who endure sickness and trial.

Until we have seen someone's darkness, we don't really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone's darkness, we don't really know what love is.

We're all amateurs when it comes to love. Don't be too hard on each other.

Forgiveness should go hand-in-hand with love.

If you have anything against someone, forgive — only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins.

It is a lie that our anger justifies our impulse to hurt or ignore our antagonists. We are to forgive to be forgiven. To wait for them to repent before we forgive and repent is to allow them to choose for us a delay which could cost us happiness here and hereafter.

Let us always love the best in others—and never fear their worst.

If a man had more than one life, I think a little hanging would not hurt this one; but after he is once dead, we cannot bring him back, no matter how sorry we may be; so the boy shall be pardoned.

Life is so short. Grudges are a waste of time. Laugh when you can, apologise when you should, and trust God with what you cannot change.

Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.
