Hollywood can be a very stinging town. They say it's a forgiving business. It's not that forgiving.

Jeff Conaway

Forgiving ourselves for all the woulda-shoulda-couldas in life, and sometimes forgiving others for actions that we feel undercut or undermine our good, can be very challenging. But forgiveness of the past and mistakes, our own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, is imperative if we are to dwell fully in the present and experience the miracles that are only available to the forgiving and loving mind.

Marianne Williamson

God invented forgiving as a remedy for a past that not even he could change and not even he could forget. His way of forgiving is the model for our forgiving.

Lewis B. Smedes

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

I've had a very, very forgiving and a very, very supportive mother who never really gave me a hard time for going in and out of slackerdom.

Tobias Forge

Forgiving does not usually happen at once. It is a process, sometimes a long one, especially when it comes to wounds gouged deep. And we must expect some lapses...some people seem to manage to finish off forgiving in one swoop of the heart. But when they do, you can bet they are forgiving flesh wounds. Deeper cuts take more time and can use a second coat.

Lewis B. Smedes

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

Swami Vivekananda

I'd like to be more forgiving. There are times when I've had a hard time forgiving people who have betrayed me.

Amy Tan

Forgiving men is so much easier than forgiving women.

Margaret Atwood

...Forgiving is not having to understand. Understanding may come later, in fragments, an insight here and a glimpse there, after forgiving.

Lewis B. Smedes

Forgiving is not forgetting. Forgiving is remembering without pain.

Celia Cruz

The Lord is forgiving, but sometimes life is not forgiving.

Gordon B. Hinckley

When I first started with the UFC, that classic saying of spectacle over sport was very, very true. I believed in the sport, I believed in what I was doing and I believed in the people behind it.

Bruce Buffer

The thing about sport, any sport, is that swearing is very much part of it.

Jimmy Greaves

What is forgiving? Forgiving is giving up all claim on one who had hurt you and letting go of the emotional consequences of the hurt. How can we do that? It's done at the price of beating back our pride. By nature we are selfish. Forgiving, by definition, is unselfish. Being hurt by another person wounds our pride. Pride stands in the way of forgiving. We cannot forgive without God's help. It might be possible for us to forgive something inconsequential without God's help; but in significant matters, we are unlikely to accomplish anything without God's involvement in the process.
