A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
宽恕
Forgiveness
I cannot stand that whole game of confession, that is: Here I have sinned, now I'm confessing my sins, and describing my path of sin and then in the act of confession I beg for your forgiveness and redemption.
我无法忍受整个忏悔的游戏，那就是:我在这里犯了罪，现在我承认我的罪，描述我的罪恶之路，然后在忏悔的过程中，我请求你的宽恕和救赎。
We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness.
我们被告知，人们保持爱情是因为化学反应，或者是因为他们对彼此保持好奇，因为许多善意，因为运气。但其中一部分必须是宽恕和感恩。
The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.
学校会因为他们的沉默而失败，教会会因为他们的宽恕而失败，家庭会因为父母的拒绝和沉默而失败。新一代必须听到老一代拒绝说的话。
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.
一个人怎么知道她是否已经原谅了呢?你倾向于为环境感到悲伤而不是愤怒，你倾向于为那个人感到难过而不是生他的气。对于这一切，你往往无话可说。
For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?
对我来说，宽恕和同情总是联系在一起的:我们如何让人们对自己的错误行为负责，同时又与他们的人性保持足够的联系，让他们相信自己有能力被改造?
Resentment is the "number one" offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. From it stem all forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick.
怨恨是“头号”罪犯。它比其他任何东西都更能摧毁酗酒者。因为我们不但在精神上和肉体上有病，在精神上也病了。
Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.
真诚的宽恕并不带有期望对方道歉或改变的色彩。不要担心他们最终是否理解你。爱他们，释放他们。生活以自己的方式和时间把真理回馈给人们。
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy
耶和华阿，求你使我作你平安的器皿。哪里有仇恨，就让我播下爱的种子;哪里有伤害，哪里就宽恕;哪里有怀疑，哪里就有信仰;哪里有绝望，哪里就有希望;哪里有黑暗，哪里就有光明;哪里有悲伤，哪里就有快乐
To be angry about trifles is mean and childish; to rage and be furious is brutish; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils; but to prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine.
为琐事生气是卑鄙和幼稚的;发怒发怒是畜类的事。保持永远的愤怒，类似于魔鬼的行为和脾气;但是，防止和抑制日益增长的怨恨是明智而光荣的，是勇敢而神圣的。
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
我们必须发展和保持宽恕的能力。没有宽恕的能力，就没有爱的能力。我们最坏的一面也有好的一面，最好的一面也有坏的一面。当我们发现这一点时，我们就不那么容易憎恨敌人了。
It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates. Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility.
人类的本性是值得赞扬的，除非自私被发挥作用，否则爱比恨更容易得到满足。仇恨，通过一个渐进而平静的过程，甚至会转化为爱，除非这种变化被最初的敌意的不断刺激所阻碍。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
He who forgives readily only invites offense.
轻易宽恕只会招致冒犯。
Forgiveness is a reflection of loving yourself enough to move on.
宽恕是对自己足够爱的一种反映，让你继续前进。
Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
宽恕是心灵的节约……宽恕节省了愤怒的代价，仇恨的代价，精神的浪费。
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
宽恕是紫罗兰洒在压碎它的脚跟上的芬芳。
Life is an adventure in forgiveness.
生活是一场宽恕的冒险。
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
宽恕是赦罪。因为所失的、和所得的、正是靠著这福音、才不至于再失。
