The sin that is most destructive in your life right now is the one you are most defensive about.

Tim Keller

How beautiful it is to stay silent when someone expects you to be enraged.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Oscar Wilde

Dear God,If I hurt others, give me the strength to apologize. If people hurt me give me the strength to forgive.

The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.

Anger ventilated often hurries toward forgiveness; and concealed often hardens into revenge.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Anger makes you smaller while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you are.

Forgiveness doesn’t diminish justice; it just entrusts it to God.

Max Lucado

Forgive them even if they’re not sorry.

The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. And the first to forget is the happiest.

Life is so short. The only person you hurt when you stay angry or hold grudges is you.

Forgive everyone, including yourself.

Tom Giaquinto
