I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note -- torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

Henry Ward Beecher

Love Because

We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness.

Forgiveness

True forgiveness is when you can say, "Thank you for giving me that experience"

Dr. Michael Beckwith

Those Who Hurt You

You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.

Stop Reacting to Others'

When you learn to stop reacting to others' unkindness, rudeness, or lack of consideration for you. Reacting with hurt or pain simply takes you out of your calm. Send a thought of forgiveness and be thoughtful and kind to everyone, no matter how it offends your ego.
