Forgiveness

Three quotes about forgiveness I like:

There is nothing that in the end, cannot be forgiven, but there remains much that is inexcusable.

~Jankelevitch~

Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude.

~Martin Luther King ~

It is freeing to become aware that we do not have to be victims of our past and can learn new ways of responding. But there is a step beyond this recognition... It is the step of forgiveness. Forgiveness is love practiced among people who love poorly. It sets us free without wanting anything in return.

~Henri Nouwen~
