There is only one thing harder in this world than forgiving. It's to ask forgiveness armed only with, 'I'm sorry'.

Erma Bombeck

Nothing in the Christian life is more important than forgiveness-our forgiveness of others and God's forgiveness of us.

John F. MacArthur

It may be easier to get forgiveness than permission, but trust is harder to get back than both.

Ingrid Weir

The only thing harder than waiting on God, is wishing that you had!

Steven Furtick

The saved sinner is prostrate in adoration, lost in wonder and praise. He knows repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness; it is what we do because we have been forgiven. It serves as an expression of gratitude rather than an effort to earn forgiveness. Thus the sequence of forgiveness and then repentance, rather than repentance and then forgiveness, is crucial for understanding the gospel of grace.

Brennan Manning

The only thing harder than leaving show business is coming back.

Dave Chappelle

The only thing harder than Terry Funk's legs are his arteries.

Jerry Lawler

Forgiveness is a very personal and intimate thing. Forgiveness is not something that you can speak for others because it includes not only your desire and will, your reflection and intellect, but also your emotions.

Ingrid Betancourt

I'm such a private person, and sexuality is such a private thing. A sex scene is much harder than a fight scene. It's one thing to say, 'Kick higher,' but 'Kiss harder' - that's just crazy.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I'm a bigger fan of my directing than in acting. Acting is just harder. You know, not harder, per se, because directing is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But it's harder to enjoy my work as an actor, you know.

Jordan Peele

The only thing harder than getting a new idea into the military mind is to get an old one out.

B. H. Liddell Hart

We achieve inner health only through forgiveness - the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves.

Joshua L. Liebman

Forgiveness does not mean that we suppress anger; forgiveness means that we have asked for a miracle: the ability to see through mistakes that someone has made to the truth that lies in all of our hearts. Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts towards ourselves. The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

Marianne Williamson

There are occasions when a woman, no matter how weak and impotent in character she may be in comparison with a man, will yet suddenly become not only harder than any man, but even harder than anything and everything in the world.

Nikolai Gogol

Happy ending are only a pause. There are three kinds of big endings: Revenge. Tragedy. Forgiveness. Revenge and Tragedy often happen together. Forgiveness redeems the past. Forgiveness unblocks the future.

Jeanette Winterson

Often, when you are upset and allowing your emotions to control you, forgiveness seems so out of reach. But once you let go and let God take control, you begin to realize that forgiveness is the only way to really win. True forgiveness is the only real key to happiness in your life. Also, sometimes it's not always an enemy you need to forgive, sometimes it's yourself.
