Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned

He who cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.

Learning to forgive is much more useful than merely picking up a stone and throwing it at the object of one's anger, the more so when the provocation is extreme. For it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

God forgave us without any merit on our part; therefore we must forgive others, whether or not we think they merit it.

If we forgive other people, our hearts are made fit to receive forgiveness.

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Nobody will be able to forgive me but myself.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
