Quotations for forgiven

A sin confessed is half forgiven. [ French Proverb ]

The sandal-tree perfumes when riven
The axe that laid it low:
Let man who hopes to be forgiven
Forgive and bless his foe. [ Sadi ]

Audacity of thought is seldom forgiven. [ Mme. Louise Colet ]

They who forgive most shall be most forgiven. [ Bailey ]

It is fair that he who begs to be forgiven should in turn forgive. [ Horace ]

Sins may be forgiven through repentance, but no act of wit will ever justify them. [ Sherlock ]

He who has not forgiven an enemy has never yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life. [ Lavater ]

He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven. [ Edward Herbert ]

Of him that hopes to be forgiven it is indispensably required that he forgive. It is, therefore, superfluous to urge any other motive. On this great duty eternity is suspended, and to him that refuses to practise it, the throne of mercy is inaccessible, and the Saviour of the world has been born in vain. [ Johnson ]
