To forgive is to love.

About This Quote

To forgive is to love. Forgiveness is not a gift you give; it is a gift that you receive. You cannot give something that you do not have. It is the gift of the person who has been hurt and it takes time to heal and grow stronger.

To forgive means to let go and suspend judgment. If we hold on to anger, we will never be able to forgive and let go. The more we hold on, the more we will continue to suffer.
