As you consider your own life, are there things that you need to change? Have you made mistakes that still need to be corrected? If you are suffering from feelings of guilt or remorse, bitterness or anger, or loss of faith, I invite you to seek relief. Repent and forsake your sins. Then, in prayer, ask God for forgiveness. Seek forgiveness from those you have wronged. Forgive those who have wronged you. Forgive yourself.

C. Scott Grow

You must forgive everyone. Now many would say that "We cannot forgive, it's very difficult." But it's a myth whether you forgive or don't forgive. What do you do? You don't do anything. But when you don't forgive, then you are playing into wrong hands. That means you are torturing yourself, while those who have troubled you are quite happy.

We easily forgive our friends those faults that do no affect us ourselves.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Forgiveness involves pardon. Basically, that is like erasing their offenses toward us from a marking board. We immediately wash their offenses away like a wave washing away a message in the sand. Second, forgiveness involves caring for the offending person because most people who offend us have something in their own heart that needs healing. When we forgive others, they are released from our anger and we are healed by God.

Gary Smalley

A man may forgive many wrongs, but he cannot easily forgive anyone who makes it plain that his conversation is tedious.

Stevie Smith

The saints had no hatred, no bitterness; they forgive everything and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.

John Vianney

Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" not forgive us and smite those bastards who hurt us.

Nadia Bolz-Weber

Maybe it’s that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.

Jane Austen

I forgive very easily, and I suppose, in the same way, I expect to be forgiven very easily as well. I grew up with that.

Boy George

When you forgive somebody, it doesn't necessarily mean you want to invite them to your table.

Oprah Winfrey

And there, right in the middle of it, I find 'Forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.' There is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. It is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.

C. S. Lewis

How easily a fathers tenderness is recalled, and how quickly a son's offenses vanish at the slightest word of repentance!

Moliere

Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.

Abraham Lincoln

Those who succeed can't forgive a fellow for being a failure, and those who fail can't forgive him for being a success.

George Horace Lorimer

In fact, for all kinds of offenses - and, for no offenses - from murders to misdemeanors, men and women are put to death without judge or jury; so that, although the political excuse was no longer necessary, the wholesale murder of human beings went on just the same.
