"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you." ― Lewis B. Smedes Topic(s): Funny More From Lewis B. Smedes "It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited." "You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well." "Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future." More In Funny "You find out in life that people really like you funny. So what do you give ’em? Humor. And then if you show them the other side, they don’t like you as much. I find, too, that I can hide behind the idiot’s mask being funny, and you never see the sorrow or the pain."― Terry Bradshaw "Because death and illness are the most horrible things in life, of course that’s where the most absurdly funny things are going to happen."― Julia Sweeney "The next time you have a thought… let it go."― Ron White
