“Not to forgive is to be imprisoned by the past, by old grievances that do not permit life to proceed with new business. Not to forgive is to yield oneself to another’s control – to be locked into a sequence of act and response, of outrage and revenge, tit for tat, escalating always. The present is endlessly overwhelmed and devoured by the past. Forgiveness frees the forgiver. It extracts the forgiver from someone else’s nightmare.” --Lance Morrow
“Do you prefer that you be right or happy?” --Norman Cousins
"Never compromise a dream. Sure, take a step back, regroup, go bowling, but never compromise a dream." --Mike Dooley
“Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.” --Sara Paddison
"The things two people do to each other they remember. If they stay together, it's not because they forget; it's because they forgive." --Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." --Gandhi
"Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out." --Alan Cohen
"Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him." — Orison Swett Marden
