Once we have forgiven, however, we get a new freedom to forget. This time forgetting is a sign of health; it is not a trick to avoid spiritual surgery. We can forget because we have been healed. But even if it is easier to forget after we forgive, we should not make forgetting a test of our forgiving. The test of forgiving lies with healing the lingering pain of the past, not with forgetting the past has ever happened.

Lewis B. Smedes

Forgiving is not forgetting. Forgiving is remembering without pain.

Celia Cruz

Can you stop your memory on a dime, put it in reverse, and spin it in another direction the way you can reverse direction on a tape recorder? We cannot forget on command. So we just have to let the forgetting happen as it will; we shouldn't rush it, and we certainly should not doubt the genuineness of our forgiving if we happen to remember. The really important thing is that we have the power to forgive what we still do remember.

Lewis B. Smedes

...forgiving is not the same as forgetting.

Cecily von Ziegesar

Forgiving is OK. Forgetting, never.

John Kani

Forgiving is forgetting, in spite of remembering.

Dag Hammarskjold

Forgiving is not forgetting. It is remembering and letting go.

Claudia Black

Forgiving is not about forgetting, it's letting go of the hurt

Mary McLeod Bethune

you come home, and everyone talks at once and everyone asks questions, but no one waits for the answers.Instead they talk about themselves, what they've been up to, what they're going to do next, as if you're a photo on the wall.And then they talk to one another, forgetting you've jsut flown in, forgetting you're in the backseat, forgetting they've already said it all.

Ellen Hopkins

I do believe in forgiving and forgetting. There was a reason we were together. I just want to hold on to the good times.

Eva Longoria

Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.

Paulo Coelho

South Africans must recall the terrible past so that we can deal with it, forgiving where forgiveness is necessary but never forgetting.

Nelson Mandela

I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.

J. C. Ryle

FORGIVING is FOR GIVING to others and if it is meant FOR GETTING to ourselves then should it not be termed as FORGETTING ourselves.

Anuj

We can make choices, but we can be vulnerable; we can do the wrong thing, but the wrong thing for all the right reasons. I think it [life] is basically about forgiveness, and not about someone else forgiving you, but you forgiving yourself. I think we all want a lot of that.

Kelli O'Hara

Forgiving was the hardest thing. Sometimes forgiving was the hardest thing in the whole world.

Sergei Lukyanenko
