"If God forgave you, then forget your past and renounce it."

"We cannot simply forgive and forget, nor should we."

"To forgive, we may need to open our minds to a fuller exploration of the context in which the events occurred, and feel compassion for the circumstances and everyone involved, starting with ourselves."

"Forgiveness isn't about condoning what has happened to you or someone else's actions against you."

"It's in the nature of the humans and the entire animal kingdom to return blow for blow, cheating for cheating, lie for lie, to hit back with all our might. But what makes us true humans is the power to not hit back."

"Forgiveness is the highest form of a gift of kindness and it brings freedom from the prison of hatred and revenge."

"Forgive and love again."

"Vengeance and forgiveness are about reconciling the accounts, but accounting is an ugly description of the tangled ways we're connected.

Maybe that's acceptance."

"A little porch light from a distant farmhouse dimmed, feeling alone and unneeded until his smallest spark of illumination snuffed out entirely. The night fell as dark as it was quiet. Meanwhile, every secret eye within the vicinity-from insect to animal to human wanderer-stopped to blink, suddenly blinded. Their guiding light had vanished, extinguishing hope in the hearts of many. That little light had mattered, but he knew it not."
