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.

A lot of people, when they say 'forgive and forget,' they think you completely wash your brain out and forget everything. That is not the concept. What I think is you forgive and you forget so you can transform your experiences, not necessarily forget them but transform them, so that they don't haunt you or handicap you or kill you.

I never forget. I never forgive. I can wait. I find it very easy to harbor a grudge. I have scores to settle.

There are some hurts that we experience that can be forgiven but we won't forget them.

I'm just a person who forgives and forgets. I have a hard time holding grudges.

I remember everything but forgive anyway.

Surely it is much more generous to forgive and remember, than to forgive and forget.

The only thing I've settled in my mind is that I want to forgive, and forgiveness comes with forgetting.
