One unfortunate aspect of life is that we all make mistakes and in doing so sometimes hurt other individuals. Similarly, the people we meet throughout life may leave emotional, or in severe cases, physical scars. Even though we and others may regret our actions later on, the damage cannot be undone. Often times, a long and painful process of vengefulness, regret, and emotional turmoil follows. Forgiveness may often be the only thing that helps us to let go and move on with our lives. The following collection of truly remarkable forgiveness quotes highlights the importance of moving on from what has happened in the past. (You may also like our article about How to Forgive and Let Go<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Life confronts us sometimes with intense emotional or physical pain that is neither easy to forget nor forgive. Consequently, it\u2019s only natural to feel resentment, anger, and bitterness towards those who have wronged us.<\/p>\n

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.\u201d
\nBuddha<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While this mixture of negative emotions towards what happened is only natural, it will prevent you from ever moving on with your life. For the sake of your emotional well-being, there will have to come the time when you are ready to forgive and move on. Ideally, you also find the courage to say “I\u2019m sorry\u201d when you\u2019ve offended or hurt someone (see also our Quotes to Help You Apologize<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Contrary to many people\u2019s belief, forgiveness does not imply reconciliation. Similarly, it does not even mean that the act of forgiving is legally or morally justified. It simply means that you are willing to let go of the resentment that torments you. It also means that you have made the conscious decision to accept what happened and to move on with your life.<\/p>\n
