Simone WeilMen owe us what they imagine they will give us. We must forgive them this debt.
About This Quote
When a man is in love and decides he wants to marry that woman, he will do anything for her. He’ll put up with her moodiness and even put up with her not giving him the answers he needs. Forgiveness of this debt is something we should teach our children. We all make mistakes and we all need forgiveness of those mistakes. We all need to learn from our mistakes and move on.
