If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others.

If you can't forgive yourself, you think you're never going to be able to forgive yourself, and you repeat the same behavior.

I never forgive, but I always forget.

God forgives us... who am I not to forgive?

You can't forgive without loving. And I don't mean sentimentality. I don't mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, 'I forgive. I'm finished with it.'

I always forgive, but I never forget.

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
