Pardon Quotes
We often pardon those that annoy us, but we cannot pardon those we annoy.
François de La Rochefoucauld
We wrote verses that condemned us, with no hope of pardon, to the most bitter solitude.
Salvatore Quasimodo
We pardon to the extent that we love.
François de La Rochefoucauld
I beg your pardon I didn't recognise you - I've changed a lot.
Oscar Wilde
Love truth, but pardon error.
Voltaire
What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
Voltaire
The stars are dead the animals will not look; We are left alone with our day, and the time is short and; History to the defeated; May say Alas but cannot help or pardon.
W. H. Auden
Pardon me for loitering in front of an orchestra.
John Goodman
The man that hails you Tom or Jack, and proves by thumps upon your back how he esteems your merit, is such a friend, that one had need be very much his friend indeed to pardon or to bear it.
William Cowper
Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal.
Ernest Renan
The law cannot forgive, for the law has not been wronged, only broken; only persons can be wronged. The law can pardon, but it can only pardon what it has the power to punish.
W. H. Auden
Those who understand evil pardon it.
George Bernard Shaw
Law is a thing which is insensible, and inexorable, more beneficial and more profitious to the weak than to the strong; it admits of no mitigation nor pardon, once you have overstepped its limits.
Livy
Take care lest perchance you fall into the mistake of thinking to gain more by being merciful than by being just; for to pardon him too easily that has transgressed is to wrong him that transgresses not.
Baldassare Castiglione
All sins, except a sin against itself, Love should forgive. All lives, save loveless lives, true Love should pardon.
Oscar Wilde
To understand is not only to pardon, but in the end to love.
Walter Lippmann
The folly which we might have ourselves committed is the one which we are least ready to pardon in another.
Joseph Roux
All is forgiven to kings and popes. History grants them immunity, even a full pardon, even when they admit their crimes and glory in them.
Pierre Stephen Robert Payne
For what is modesty but hypocritical humility, by means of which, in a world swelling with vile envy, a man seeks to beg pardon for his excellences and merits from those who have none? For whoever attributes no merit to himself because he really has none is not modest, but merely honest.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I can never look now at the Milky Way without wondering from which of those banked clouds of stars the emissaries are coming. If you will pardon so commonplace a simile, we have broken the glass of the fire-alarm and have nothing to do but to wait. I do not think we will have to wait for long.
Arthur C. Clarke
And what does reward virtue? You think the communist commissar rewards virtue? You think a Hitler rewards virtue? You think, excuse me, if you'll pardon me, American presidents reward virtue? Do they choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue of the people appointed or on the basis of their political clout?
Milton Friedman
When you sincerely embrace Jesus as your Saviour, and rest on His atonement for pardon, when you look to Him for daily direction, lean on Him for support, and are joined to Him in heart union, then you may be sure that you have got the everlasting rock bed underneath you.
Theodore L. Cuyler
