"Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure." ― Jane Austen Topic(s): Forgiveness More From Jane Austen "One man’s ways may be as good as another’s, but we all like our own best." "To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive." "It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage." More In Forgiveness "Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err."― Euripides "It is only when you watch the dense mass of thousands of ants, crowded together around the Hill, blackening the ground, that you begin to see the whole beast, and now you observe it thinking, planning, calculating. It is an intelligence, a kind of live computer, with crawling bits for its wits."― Lewis Thomas "Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit."― Peter Ustinov
