They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.
William BlakeRead
Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace.
Leo TolstoyRead
Blue thought about what Gansey had said, about being wealthy in love. And she thought about Adam, still collapsed on their sofa downstairs. If he had no one to wrap their arms around him when he was sad, could he be forgiven for letting his anger lead him?
Maggie StiefvaterRead
A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.
Ruth GrahamRead
We say of some things that they can't be forgiven, or that we will never forgive ourselves. But we do-we do it all the time.
Alice MunroRead
All this time, Lev ever realized what he needed. He did not need to be adored or pitied. He needed to be forgiven. Not by God, who is all forgiving. Not by people like Marcus and Pastor Dan, who would always stand by his side. He needed to be forgiven by an unforgiving world.
Neal ShustermanRead
All was forgiven. All living things were brothers, and all dead things were even more so.
Kurt VonnegutRead
Surely until all of us own and honor one another's dead, until we have admitted to our murders and forgiven one another and ourselves for what we have done, there can be no truce, no dignity and no peace.
Alexandra FullerRead
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert CamusRead
Until we have seen someone's darkness, we don't really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone's darkness, we don't really know what love is.
Marianne WilliamsonRead
He who has talent in him must be purer in soul than anyone else. Another will be forgiven much, but to him it will not be forgiven. A man who leaves the house in bright, festive clothes needs only one drop of mud splashed from under a wheel, and people all surround him, point their fingers at him, and talk about his slovenliness, while the same people ignore many spots on other passers-by who are wearing everyday clothes. For on everyday clothes the spots do not show.
Nikolai GogolRead
A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.
Samuel JohnsonRead
The poor dog, in life the firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still the master's own, Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone, Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth, Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth, While man, vain insect hopes to be forgiven, And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Lord ByronRead
For," I said, "a murdered man or woman dies not in God's time, but in Man's. He... or she... is cut short before he... or she... can atone for sin, and so all errors must be forgiven. When you think of it that way, all murderers are a gateway for heaven.
Stephen KingRead
[D]on’t cling to your self-righteous suffering, let it go. . . . Nothing is too good to be true, let yourself be forgiven. To the degree you insist that you must suffer, you insist on the suffering of others as well. (90)
Stephen LevineRead
Letting ourselves be forgiven is one of the most difficult healings we will undertake. And one of the most fruitful. (79)
Stephen LevineRead
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Read
The evil of one murder is infinite, and my guilt is like my beauty - eternal. I cannot be forgiven, for there is no one to forgive me for all I've done.
Anne RiceRead
there is only one unpardonable sin--deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven.
Truman CapoteRead
He believed that he must, that he could and would recover the good things, the happy things, the easy tranquil things of life. He had made mistakes, but he could overlook these. He had been a fool, but that could be forgiven. The time wasted--must be relinquished. What else could one do about it? Things were too complex, but they might be reduced to simplicity again. Recovery was possible.
Saul BellowRead
Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.
Jane AustenRead
