“The trouble with forgiveness is that some people don't want to be forgiven.”

“Yes, God forgives and men forget,
And you're forgiven and forgotten.”
"To A Young Poet Who Killed Himself"
Trees and Other Poems (1914)
Context: Yes, God forgives and men forget,
And you're forgiven and forgotten.
You might be gaily sinning yet
And quick and fresh instead of rotten.
And when you think of love and fame
And all that might have come to pass,
Then don't you feel a little shame?
And don't you think you were an ass?
“You will never forgive anyone more than God has already forgiven you.”
The Note Book of Elbert Hubbard (1927)
