Forgiveness quotes by Henry Ward Beecher ,Jessamyn West

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way
of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be
like a cancelled note--torn in two, and burned up, so
that it never can be shown against one.
Henry Ward Beecher

It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes;
it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for
having witnessed your own.
Jessamyn West


Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on
the heal that has crushed it.
Mark Twain
