Selfishness is that detestable ordsprog

en Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without in himself
  Henry Ward Beecher

en LICKSPITTLE, n. A useful functionary, not infrequently found editing a newspaper. In his character of editor he is closely allied to the blackmailer by the tie of occasional identity; for in truth the lickspittle is only the blackmailer under another aspect, although the latter is frequently found as an independent species. Lickspittling is more detestable than blackmailing, precisely as the business of a confidence man is more detestable than that of a highway robber; and the parallel maintains itself throughout, for whereas few robbers will cheat, every sneak will plunder if he dare.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Forgive! How many will say, ''forgive,'' and find a sort of absolution in the sound to hate a little longer!
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

en It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.
  Jessamyn West

en If we think about it, in terms of racial and ethnic strife or things, if we don't forgive, we'll just stay the same. If we don't forgive people, we can never make any progress.
  James Carville

en But now it seems we must forgive, because they have come to their senses and realized they have made a mistake. The Bible says you must try to forgive.
