The small-town policeman pulled up next to a man who was unloading rubbish out of his van into a ditch. "Why are you dumping that rubbish?" the policeman asked. "Didn't you see the sign?" "Sure," the man replied, puzzled at the policeman's reaction. "That's why I picked this spot. It says, 'Fine for dumping rubbish.'"

COLERIDGE Live together in the forgiveness of your sins, for without it no human fellowship can survive. Don't insist on your rights, don't blame each other, don't judge or condemn each other, but take one another as you are. Forgive each other every day from the bottom of your heart.

ELLEN WILCOX WHEELER

If God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.

C.S. LEWIS

When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand.
