Forgive and forget. Isn’t that just one of the most overused forgiveness quotes in history? If you’re looking for something a little more than that, then this article is for you. Read on... Forgiveness Quote # 1: â€There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.†- Bryant H. McGill Love can be quite complicated; but if there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that love and forgiveness go hand in hand. Parents, I think, understand this best of all. Mothers and fathers who truly love their children might get angry when their kids break something in the house or disobey their orders, but they’ll always forgive them in the end. Runaways who leave home in the heat of an argument can also relate to this. The lucky ones who have loving parents will always be welcomed home with open arms. Forgiveness Quote # 2: â€Always forgive you enemies; nothing annoys them so much.†- Oscar Wilde Talk about cheekiness. This Oscar Wilde quote is almost a spin-off of the Christian mandate â€love thy enemy,†isn’t it? For most people, getting them to forgive their enemies is almost impossible; but from Wilde’s perspective, it looks quite doable and even satisfying. So if you have someone who makes your life a living hell - say, a boss or a rival at work - try forgiving their transgressions against you. Think about this quote as you do so, and I am confident it will make your day. Forgiveness Quote # 3: â€To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.†- Lewis B. Smedes In this particular Lewis B. Smedes quote, you are being made to discover how your inability to forgive other people affects you. Most people think that withholding forgiveness gives them power over others, but they fail to realize that they themselves are also held captive. As long as you hold that grudge, your heart will never be at ease and you will remain forever bitter. Is that really how you plan to live the rest of your life? These forgiveness quotes might not make sense to you at the moment, especially if you’re still too angry and too wound up to listen. Give yourself time to relax and let go. In due time, you will find it in your heart to forgive even those whom you find most unforgiveable.
