Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is.
Our pride remembers it forever.
- Lord Chesterfield
It is not "forgive and forget" as if nothing wrong had ever happened, but "forgive and go forward," building on the mistakes
of the past and the energy generated by reconciliation to create a new
future.
- Carolyn Osiek, Beyond Anger
... whoever closes his eyes to the past becomes blind to the present.
Whoever does not wish to remember inhumanity becomes susceptible
to the dangers of new infection.
... there can be no reconciliation without memory.
- Richard Von Weizaecker
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
- Mother Teresa
The salvation of
man is through love and in love.
- Viktor Frankl
