Only the brave know how to forgive; it is the most refined and generous pitch of virtue human nature can arrive at.

The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.

One may as well be asleep as to read for anything but to improve his mind and morals, and regulate his conduct.

Forgiving yourself means that you give up on your hope that the past will be different.

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.

In the shadow of my hurt, forgiveness feel like a decision to reward my enemy. But in the shadow of the cross, forgiveness is merely a gift from one undeserving soul to another.
