It's all very well to tell us to forgive our enemies; our enemies can never hurt us very much. But oh, what about forgiving our friends?

Almost all our faults are more pardonable than the methods we resort to to hide them.

Those faults are always pardonable that we have the courage to avow.

Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.

We have few faults which are not far more excusable than the means we adopt to hide them.

No weakness of the human mind has more frequently incurred animadversion, than the negligence with which men overlook their own faults, however flagrant, and the easiness with which they pardon them, however frequently repeated.

Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.

Sometimes those we forgive change their behavior to the extent that we can eventually be as close to them as we were before (or even closer).

Forgiving men is so much easier than forgiving women.

"Mistakes" is easy to judge when other do it and difficult to realize when we do it.

We all love best not those who offend us least, nor those who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.

Of all our faults, the one that we excuse most easily is idleness.

We forgive so long as we love.

How accommodating love is; it forgives everything.
