Quote by H. Emilie Cady

“We must forgive as we would be forgiven. To forgive does not simply mean to arrive at a place of indifference to those who do personal injury to us; it means far more than this. To forgive is to give for--to give some actual, definite good in return for evil given. One may say: "I have not a personal enemy in the world." And yet if, under any circumstances, any kind of "serves-him-right" thought springs up within you over anything that any of God’s children may do or suffer, you have not yet learned how to forgive.”

Before their brains could process the information gathered by their senses, perhaps even before their senses had recognized the stimulus itself, bits of iron had exploded through their skulls and made either act impossible.”
