“Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.”
Hannah Moore
“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Forgiveness is the cleansing fire that burns away old regrets and resentments.”
Jonathan Lockwood Huie
“During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable, even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism.”
Howard Thurman
“Anger and hatred cannot bring harmony. The noble task of arms control and disarmament cannot be accomplished by confrontation and condemnation. Hostile attitudes only serve to heat up the situation, whereas a true sense of respect gradually cools down what otherwise could become explosive. We must recognize the frequent contradictions between short-term benefit and long-term harm.”
Dalai Lama
“Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.”
Swami Sivananda
“Hatred is the madness of the heart”
Lord Byron
