“When you get up in the morning, before you suffer yourselves to eat one mouthful of food, call your wife and children together, bow down before the Lord, ask him to forgive your sins, and protect you through the day, to preserve you from temptation and all evil, to guide your steps aright.” ChildrenTogetherSufferingEvilAsksPrayerSinLordStepsMorningWifeProtectForgivingGuidesTemptationGet UpPreservesBowsProtect You Author:Brigham Young
“To forgive the incessant provocations of daily life - to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son - how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, “Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse God’s mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what he says.” ThinkingMeanRememberLawMotherNightTermPrayerWifeSonHusbandDaughterMercyForgivingRefuseSelfishExceptionDaily LifeBullyingOur PrayersHintsIn-lawsOur WordsIncessantDeceitfulProvocationMother In LawNaggingBossy Author:C.

“Why, when the world gets to understand about it I expect that two men or two women, or a man and a woman, will come in here, and say to me, 'We have quarrelled and outraged each other, we have injured our friend, our wife, our husband; we regret, we would forgive, but we cannot, because we remember. Put between us the atonement of forgetfulness, that we may love each other as of old.'” MenWorldMayTwoRememberWifeRegretHusbandForgivingInjuredLove Each OtherAtonementForgetfulnessOutraged Author:Edward Bellamy
“Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.” MenWayHumansKindChildrenSometimesRememberSpeakParentNaturalHurtForgetAcceptingMoralWifeForgivenessAskingForgivingEndureYesterdayWeatherArroganceSpiteLastingWillingnessRitualOfferingHumiliationSolemnHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsChildren And Parents Author:Paul Tillich
“I think maybe my greatest weakness is that I trust people too much. I'm too trusting. And when they let me down, if they let me down, I never forgive. I find it very, very hard to forgive people that deceived me. So I don't know if you would call that a weakness, but my wife said "let up."” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsSaidHardToo MuchWifeWeaknessLet MeForgivingMy WifeDeceivedNever ForgiveLet Me DownHard To Forgive Author:Donald Trump
