Forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It’s something you do for yourself. It’s saying, “You’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.” It’s saying, “You don’t get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.”
Jodi Picoult
I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.
Abraham Lincoln
Take forgiveness slowly. Don’t blame yourself for being slow. Peace will come.
Yoko Ono
Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love.
Fred Rogers
