God will forgive me that's his business.

We all like to forgive and love best not those who offend us least nor who have done most for us but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness I was never going to be forgiven.

Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it it looks at you and does not forgive.

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.

Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness anger concealed often hardens into revenge.

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.

Holding on to anger resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.
