“To forgive does not mean to forget.”

“This is why I forgive, but I don't forget. When you forget someone, the forgiveness doesn't mean anything anymore.”

“To forgive does not mean to condone.”

“One does not have to forgive if forgiveness is not one of his virtues. But one can forget and never come back to the issue.”

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”

“Forgiveness is a choice you can make to free yourself from the shackles of your past, from pain, hurt and resentment. Forgiveness is your road to inner freedom. It does not mean that you need to forget, deny or condone what has transpired. You choose to forgive because forgiveness is the only way to transcend painful experiences and to attain inner peace and freedom. Transcending Abuse & Betrayal.”
