forgiveness quotes

The leader of India's nonviolent independence movement wrote in 1931 in his weekly paper Young India, "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."



To err is human; to forgive, divine.” Alexander Pope. Only the brave know how to forgive.” ...

  • We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies.” Voltaire. ...

The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.” William Blake.


Oprah offered her own words of wisdom. "Forgiveness is giving up the hope that what would have, could have, should have happened, in fact…it did not happen. It's accepting the reality of what did happen, and moving on,"


"Forgiveness is designed to set you free. When you say, "I forgive you," what you're really saying is 'I know what you did is not okay, but I recognize that you are more than that. I don't want to hold us captive to this thing anymore. I can heal myself, and I don't need anything from you.'"

You have to come to the realization that what might have been is not what is." So whichever phase you're at on this journey of healing and moving on, these forgiveness quotes from leaders like Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. may inspire you to move forward instead of reliving the past.

Just A Thought ; smiley43


Forgive ; Who Am I To Forgive Someone ?? Whoever Or Whomsoever Erred ; Hurt Me, So It Seems, Am Better Of Living Away From That Person, With Little Or Nothing To Do With That Person, May Be Just A Hi Or Bye ! ! smiley43


I Reason That Person, In Due Course Of Time Shall Receive His Due ; Most Probably Regret For Whatever Misdoings Done Or Probably Pay For Those Errors And Misdoings ; smiley43


Am Nobody To Forgive But Move / Walk Away And On From Whatever Unpleasant Circumstances ! ! ! smiley43


I Firmly Believe That Life Is A Full Circle And At The End Of The Day You End Up Paying For Whatever Rights And Wrongs You / We Do In Life - - Before You / We Kick The Bucket ! ! ! smiley43 smiley36 smiley43


This Is Earth ; Heaven ; Hell ! ! ! And What Ever You Make Of It ! ! ! smiley43


To Err Is Human And So Let Go, Let Go, Let Go, And Be At Peace With Yourself - Let Forgiveness NOT Be A Burden ! !smiley43smiley43


My Honest And Sincere Take ! ! ! smiley43


What Say, Folks ? ! ? ! smiley43
