People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; ... Forgive them anyway.

Forgiveness is not always easy.
At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered,
to forgive the one that inflicted it.
And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
- Marianne Williamson
Forgiving is not a gift to someone else -
Forgiving is your gift to yourself - a great gift - the gift of happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; ...
Forgive them anyway.
- Kent Keith (often attributed to Mother Teresa)
You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- Matthew 5:43-44
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon; ...
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
- attributed to St. Francis of Assisi
