"We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness." ― Frederick William Robertson Topic(s): Forgiveness More From Frederick William Robertson "The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it." "Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life. A child is given to the universe to be educated." "The office of poetry is not to make us think accurately, but feel truly." More In Forgiveness "Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough."― Garrison Keillor "I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance."― Adlai E. Stevenson "How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstance instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to say about it all."― Clarissa Pinkola Estes
