Forgiveness

  • As difficult as it seems, you can be sure of this: At the core of the heart, you have the power to move beyond the old issues that are still hindering your freedom. The hardest things—the ones that push you up against your limits—are the very things you need to address to make a quantum leap into a fresh inner and outer life.
  • The Past: Our cradle, not our prison; there is danger as well as appeal in its glamour. The past is for inspiration, not imitation, for continuation, not repetition.
  • If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth… Soon the whole world will be blind and toothless.
  • The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.
  • To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was YOU.
  • There is no revenge as complete as forgiveness.
