Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.

- Jean Paul

To understand is to forgive, even oneself.

- Alexander Chase

Prejudice is sinful. All blood flows red. And the most harmful and foolish kind of prejudice is prejudice against yourself. Every woman is your sister, and every woman needs her sisters. So try to give other women the courtesy of your compassion, respect, and forgiveness. Love yourself despite - and because of - your flaws.

- Jewell Parker Rhodes

Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.

- Ausonius

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

- Bryant H. McGill

Forgiveness is a very personal and intimate thing. Forgiveness is not something that you can speak for others because it includes not only your desire and will, your reflection and intellect, but also your emotions.

- Ingrid Betancourt

I discipline churchgoers with godly lessons and sharp words if they do not change their ways. My goal is to open their hearts so that they seek forgiveness.

- William Brewster

We'd do better to follow the admonition of Jesus about loving our neighbours. People in the U.S. are capable of forgiveness and willing to see one another's point of view, but when matters become politicised, we're less able to do that.

- Kent Haruf

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

- Grace Hopper

God's forgiveness is the only thing. And, well, I take full responsibility for the adultery. It was my fault and, you know, no matter what went on, the man has to take responsibility; and I do.

- Jim Bakker
