QUOTES ON FORGIVENESS

He who forgives readily only invites offense.

PIERRE CORNEILLE, Cinna

To receive an injury is to be wounded; but to forgive and forget it is the cure.

WILLIAM SCOTT DOWNEY, Proverbs

GEORGE ELIOT, Adam Bede

Forgiveness is healing ... especially forgiving yourself.

ALYSON NOËL, Evermore
