Asking for forgiveness is just one of the most painful kind of experiences.

We think that forgiveness is weakness, but it's absolutely not; it takes a very strong person to forgive.

Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.

Forgiveness is hard for me, man. It is for most American-Western males. It's a sign of weakness.

It's toughest to forgive ourselves. So it's probably best to start with other people. It's almost like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, forgiving others, you really do get to the point where you can forgive yourself.

Forgiveness is a very personal and intimate thing. Forgiveness is not something that you can speak for others because it includes not only your desire and will, your reflection and intellect, but also your emotions.

When people realize that they have been forgiven of everything, it becomes a little bit easier for them to forgive others.

You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.

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