"The shortest answer is doing."
"He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven."
"Forgiveness is the most necessary and proper work of every man; for, though, when I do not a just thing, or a charitable, or a wise, another man may do it for me, yet no man can forgive my enemy but myself."
