Forgiveness
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong. - Mahatma Gandhi
Forgiveness is like peeling an onion - it is done in layers! When we come upon a new layer of our being where some resentment appears, there is more work to do. This does not mean our previous work with forgiveness was not effective. All effort is meaningful. We simply need to continue the forgiving process.
Desmond Tutu
We can develop the spiritual habit of cleansing our personalities of these emotional toxins as soon as they arrive. If we harbour the memory of some hurt or wrong, real or imagined, it is time to release it! Let it go!
Dalai Lama
Miguel de Cervantes
Forgiveness is good for your health! The ability to forgive others is good for our health as well as our relationships. Resentments and the urge for revenge are poisons in the human mind.
He who forgives ends the quarrel - African proverb
