"For Christians, the rules are clear. They are under order to forgive. We must follow those orders, no matter how difficult they appear. If we do not forgive, God will not forgive us. That is the beginning and the end of it."
Laisenia Qarase

Richard Dawkins
A woman can forgive a man for the harm he does her...but she can never forgive him for the sacrifices he makes on her account.
William Somerset Maugham
Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee
And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.Robert Frost
