Don't flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.

Can you ever forgive me? I already have. How could you? I don't deserve it. That's what makes it love.

Forgiveness does not require us to close our eyes but rather to truly open them.

I love when I can reboot people when they are being mean to others...

The truest grace is not to forgive, but to have never found fault.

There are far too many people for us to think about each of them during our short stay on earth—like the thousands of books in a library we haven't time to read in an afternoon. But this is no excuse to cease browsing. For every now and then, we find that one book that reaches us deep inside and introduces us to ourselves. And, in someone else's story, we come to understand our own.

Forgiveness is the key to the heart's shackles.

To not extend forgiveness is to burn the bridge that we ourselves must cross.

I hope you can someday forgive me.' 'I forgive you now.

The well from which we receive grace is only filled by sharing it with others. --- Charles James's Diary

To forgive is to unlock the cage of another's folly to set ourselves free.
