Hooman Whoofs

Day 22


Forgiveness:

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

-- Henry Ward Beecher

Gratitude:

There is not a more pleasing exercise of the mind than gratitude. It is accompanied with such an inward satisfaction that the duty is sufficiently rewarded by the performance.

-- Joseph Addison

Love:

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

-- Kahlil Gibran --


Peace:

Lord, bid war's trumpet cease;
Fold the whole earth in peace.


-- Oliver Wendell Holmes
