Forgive me for my unbelief [in myself]. If I realized how valuable I am, my insatiable need for affirmation would be quieted. Forgive me for being such a perfectionist that I resist doing something good out of fear that it won't be great.

May our memories of kindness be long and of offenses be short.

If God is not an active part in your friendships, you are missing one of life's most important treasures.

Please forgive your brothers' transgression and their sin—the wrong they caused you. Genesis 50:17

Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it. It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides.

There are elements of comedy that can be competitive and back stab-y, but one of the underreported sides is that we love each other and help each other, kind of like a messed up extended family.

The purpose of life is to help others, and if you can't help them, won't you at least not hurt them? I know that is a platitude, that that is sentimental and can easily be attacked. But loving, caring is simple, and we make it complex. Our own neuroses make it complex.

When we forgive someone, it doesn't justify what they've done. It releases them into God's hands so He can deal with them.

Forgiveness doesn't make the other person right, it makes you free.
