27 Great Quotes On Forgiveness


Life will invariably brig you to crossroads when 
you will be tempted to convince yourself of your 
victim-hood.These are the moments of weakness 
that lead you away from your responsibility.
The responsibility of responding and not reacting 
as we have been conditioned to.
Forgiveness is the first step towards claiming that  
responsibility.
Here are some exceptional quotes I have gathered that throw bright beams of light on the need for forgiveness............

― C. JoyBell C.

― Gordon B. Hinckley
