ABOUT FORGIVENESS

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. ~William Blake, Jerusalem
 
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. ~Henry Ward Beecher
