All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion, and forgiveness. The important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Together with you, I would like once more to ask forgiveness of all the victims. The pain and the shame we feel must become an occasion for conversion: Never again! Never again can the Christian community allow itself to be infected by the idea that one culture is superior to others, or that it is legitimate to employ ways of coercing others.

I invite you not to build walls but bridges, to conquer evil with good, offence with forgiveness, to live in peace with everyone.

I will be asking for forgiveness [from God], but hopefully I won't have to be asking for much forgiveness.
