Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

Benjamin Franklin

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

William Arthur Ward

Do not waste your life taking revenge on the shadows of those you cannot forget or forgive. Accept. Endure.

The Stoic Emperor

Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons. Neither the offender nor the offended are any more themselves.

If you want to see the brave, look to those who can return love for hatred. If you want to see the heroic, look to those who can forgive.

I don't think there's anything braver than forgiveness.
