A Quote by Charles Caleb Colton
The sun should not set upon our anger, neither should he rise upon our confidence. We should forgive freely, but forget rarely. I will not be revenged, and this I owe to my enemy; but I will remember, and this I owe to myself.

To forgive freely, is what we owe to our enemy; to forget not, is what we owe to ourselves.
I will not be revenged, and this I owe to my enemy; but I will remember, and this I owe to myself.
We should forgive and forget the faults of others. Anger is the enemy of every spiritual aspirant. Anger causes loss of power through every pore of our body.

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterward remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

I hope that the economic, financial and trade blockade against Cuba will be lifted, so that the economy can grow and wages can rise.

Secretary [Hillary] Clinton and others, politicians, should have been doing this for years, not right now, because of the fact that we've created a movement.

Criticism should awaken our attention, not inflame our anger. We should listen to, and not flee from, those who contradict us. Truth should be our cause, no matter in what manner it comes to us.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

We owe them not just thanks and best wishes, but action, and action in our nation's capital.
