The face forgives the mirror, the worm forgives the plough, the question begs the answer, can you forgive me somehow?

"All the World is Green", Blood Money (2002)Tom Waits
God forgives; forgives not capriciously, but with wise, definite, Divine prearrangement; forgives universally, on the ground of an atonement, and on the condition of repentance and faith.
Richard Salter Storrs
Every man alive in the world is a beggar of one sort or another, every last one of them, great and small. The priest begs God for grace, and the king begs something for something. Sometimes he begs the people for loyalty, sometimes he begs God to forgive him. No man in the world can have endured ten years without having begged God to forgive him.
William Saroyan
Man forgets. God forgives. Man forgets God's Truth. God forgives man's ignorance.
Sri Chinmoy
They must first judge themselves, that presume to censure others: And such will not be apt to overshoot the Mark. We are too ready to retaliate, rather than forgive, or gain by Love and Information. And yet we could hurt no Man that we believe loves us. Let us then try what Love will do: For if Men did once see we Love them, we should soon find they would not harm us. Force may subdue, but Love gains: And he that forgives first, wins the Lawrel. If I am even with my Enemy, the Debt is paid; but if I forgive it, I oblige him for ever. (542 - 547)
William Penn
Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.
