“I forgive the neglect and the contempt,”

“If that which I neglect, becomes by my neglect a deadly sin, and is yet a crime when I do not neglect it, how am I to consider myself safe in this country?”

“He forgave these Tropemen, then felt contempt for himself for the presumption of extending forgiveness, then forgave again, then cursed his own vanity, forgave once more, condemned his presumption, and at last forgave even himself.”

“Candles forgive fire, rivers forgive the sea, age forgives time, life forgives death. But can I forgive your passing?”

“If I can't forgive him, the Lord won’t forgive me.”

“Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.”

“And throughout all eternity
I forgive you, you forgive me.”

“Forgiveness is praised by the Christian and the Vaishnava, but for me, I ask, "What have I to forgive and whom?"”

“I still love you. I will always love you, and that is all that matters. I will forgive you anything, and I will forgive you this.”

“I repent and ask for forgiveness for greed. I longed for riches, not thinking that this is to the detriment of others. Covering my sins with the words "historic moment," "brilliant combinations" and "tremendous opportunities," I forgot about my fellow citizens.… I repent and ask forgiveness for trampling free speech. Justifying myself with the desire to save Russia from the red-brown plague, I defined the policy of the country's chief information mouthpiece, neglecting democratic values.… I repent and ask for forgiveness for bringing Vladimir Putin to power. I should have seen, but could not see in him the future of a greedy tyrant and usurper, a man who trampled freedom and stopped the development of Russia. Many of us did not recognize it then, but that does not excuse me. I'm sorry.”
