“We pass hatred and prejudice on to our children, as though they were heirlooms of humanity. We cling to traditions that keep us bound to a way of life that no longer works and arguably never has.
Those who can glean the wisdom of the old traditions, but put away the ignorance and prejudices interwoven into them by the generations to come before, have always played a vital role in our global community; though their actions are usually met with resistance. We—all of us—must be assured that change can come without loss of identity. There are certain things we can leave along the roadside without becoming less than we are—certain heirlooms that, when let go, free us to move forward into a healthier future.”
― L.M. Browning, Seasons of Contemplation: A Book of Midnight Meditations

“Forgivness is not just for the offender. It is also for the one who is offended.

― Beth Nimmo, Rachel's Tears: The Spiritual Journey of Columbine Martyr Rachel Scott

“My 'position' on this, and all matters, is forgiveness. My 'position,' if you will, is love. My faith in Jesus Christ is what enabled me to forgive those who had wronged me - and as you know, the wrongs were severe. My faith in Jesus Christ is what enabled me to pray for my enemies rather than curse them. And my faith in Jesus Christ is what enabled me to love them. I do not just tolerate them, nor am I merely civil toward them. No, I love them. It is this love, alone, that ends wars.”
― Kim Phuc Phan Thi, Fire Road: The Napalm Girl’s Journey through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness, and Peace

“The rage Jacob experienced was something new. He'd known fear and adrenaline in battle, but this was sheer unadulterated hatred. This was not the soldier who'd had killed Renee's family, but he was one of them. And he would do. Just a moment before Jacob had been lost in despair. Yet as his misery morphed into anger he felt better because now he had purpose and the purpose was vengeance. This enemy was going to pay for madam and the children and for Freddy and Leeland and all the others, too. He stared down the rifle barrel and saw... himself. Not Jacob Firestone, but pale blue eyes that reminded him very much of the teenage boy he faced in the mirror every day. In another life they could have been 12th-graders together swapping chemistry notes and talking about girls. He felt his finger loosening on the trigger.
No, he exhorted himself. You walked away from an enemy in this orchard once before and look what happened. You can't let this one go.
But when Jacob sighted down at the boy he beheld no menace. Only terror. There had been so much death and suffering already. What could possibly be gained by killing this poor, scared kid in the aftermath of a battle that was already over? Jacob lowered his rifle. "Get out of here, High School. Beat it!"
And when the stunned boy scrambled up, gawked at him in disbelief and ran off, Jacob felt reborn.”
― Gordon Korman, War Stories

“Looking once more into her child's fresh eyes, the mother's lips moved ever so gingerly.
The words forgive me slipped off her tongue, soft and delicate as a whisper, carried away into the stillness of a night she would never see again.”
