Forgive them, you might say, for they know not what they do. But there comes a moment in history when ignorance is no longer a forgivable offense, a moment when only wisdom has the power to absolve.

Dan Brown
About This Quote

Forgiveness is not something that should be given to people who do not deserve it. It is a gift that should be given to people who do. When forgiveness is given to bad or evil people, it only makes the world a worse place. We cannot forgive evil and expect to get what we want.

Forgiveness is not for evil. Forgiveness is for good.
