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

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

Nelson Mandela

...forgiving is not the same as forgetting.

Cecily von Ziegesar

Forgiving is forgetting, in spite of remembering.

Dag Hammarskjold

Forgiving is all; forgetting is another thing.

Bob Rae

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

God always forgives when you are totally repentant and you desire to change. He forgives... and He never gets tired of forgiving. Never. You may get tired asking. I hope not. He never, never tires of forgiving. Never.

Mother Angelica

I cannot avoid forgiving everybody that threw a brick at me during my various campaigns, so I think it's important for all of us to bury that and say, 'OK, we need to look forward' - we've got to move forward from 'never Trump' to 'never Hillary.'

Bill Flores

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

Paulo Coelho

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

You never hear of a mother cursing the child; she is forgiving, always forgiving.

Swami Vivekananda

Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator. Forgiving seems almost unnatural. Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do. But forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule.

Lewis B. Smedes

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

Wherever we go we do harm, forgiving ourselves as wheels do cement for wearing each other out. We set this house on fire, forgetting that we live within. (from "To a Meadowlark," for M.L. Smoker)
