Forgiveness Quotes On Letting Go

By Dr. William DeFoore

These quotations are all written by Dr. DeFoore, drawn from his 35 years of professional experience. You will also find forgiveness quotes and many other important topics in his books, and audio CD programs.

  • Forgiving is all about letting go--of anger, resentment, sorrow and the victim feeling.
  • Forgiveness is more than a decision. It only happens when your heart and head agree that it is time to let go.
  • When you forgive, your whole body lets go with a sigh of relief. This increases your relaxation, lowers your stress and enhances your immune function.
  • One of the main benefits of forgiveness is that it allows you to return to the kind person you really are.


Quotes On Forgiveness, Love, Anger and Healing

  • It all begins with the need to love and be loved. This makes you vulnerable, easily hurt, afraid and angry--that's where forgivness comes in.
  • Anger and resentment take you away from love. Forgiveness is a return to love.
  • Anger and forgiveness seem opposite, and yet in many ways they are very similar.
  • Healthy anger and true forgiveness enhance personal power and increase the capacity for love.
  • Conditional love is not love, and partial forgiveness is not forgiveness.


Why It's Hard To Forgive

Talking about forgiveness is a lot more common than actually forgiving. That's because true forgiveness is something that is done with body, mind and spirit, and it's not easy. These quotes on forgiveness give ideas and suggestions on the true benefits and challenges of forgiving, but to get the full exhaustive understanding of this important topic and hear the information that really explains it all, listen to this CD program on Love, Anger and Forgiveness.

  • The main reason it is so hard to forgive is that most people don't know how to release anger in healthy ways.
  • It is also hard to forgive because you might think you're "letting the other person off the hook" by forgiving them. In fact, forgiving is for you, not the other person. Forgiveness allows you to return to love, to the good person you truly are.
  • Forgiving is hard because you might think you're "condoning" the other person's actions by forgiving them. In fact you're not. Forgiving is simply a matter of letting go of anger and resentment, and taking responsibility for your own emotional and physical situation.
  • When you refuse to forgive, you might feel like you're punishing the other person, when in fact you're only punishing yourself.
  • True forgiveness is hard because it means letting go, relaxing and taking care of yourself. As difficult as that is, it is the most important thing you will ever learn to do!
