Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,


Splendour, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, absence of malice,
and absence of pride; these are the qualities
of those endowed with divine virtues, O Arjuna.

Bhagavad Gita 16.3

*

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,
and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Bible

*

Be like the sandalwood which perfumes the axe that wounds it.

Dhammapada

*

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

Gautama Buddha

*

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

M K Gandhi

*

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.

Paul Boese

*

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them as much.
