VII, v. 18) And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. - Bible, Nehemiah (ch. IX, v. 17) Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as how thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word. But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. - Bible, Numbers (ch. XIV, v. 19-21) Love is on the verge of hate each time it stoops for pardon. - Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton Nothing in this low and ruined world bears the meek impress of the Son of God so surely as forgiveness. - Alice Cary It is not enjoined upon us to forget, but we are told to forgive, our enemies. - Edwin Hubbell Chapin The man who pardons easily courts injury. - Pierre Corneille Who pardons easily invites offense. - Pierre Corneille When by a pardoned murderer blood is spilt, the judge that pardoned hath the greatest guilt. - Sir John Denham If I were Jesus Christ, I would save Judas. - Victor Hugo Pardon is the virtue of victory. - Giuseppe Mazzini But infinite in pardon is my Judge. - John Milton What better can we do than prostrate fall before Him reverent, and there confess humbly our faults, and pardon beg with tears watering the ground? - John Milton He is below himself that is not above an injury. - Francis Quarles Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it. - Moslih Eddin (Muslih-un-Din) Saadi (Sadi) Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned. - Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller God pardon them that are the cause thereof! A virtuous and a Christian-like conclusion, to pray for them that have done scath to us. - William Shakespeare The word is short, but not so short as sweet. - William Shakespeare Though with their high wrongs I am struck to the quick, yet, with my nobler reason, against my fury do I take part; the rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance. - William Shakespeare Pardon ever follows sincere repentence. - Charles Haddon Spurgeon As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely. - Madame de Stael (Baronne Anne Louise Germaine de Stael-Holstein) Pardon is voluntary forgetfulness, while forgetfulness is involuntary pardon. - P.J.
