Forgiveness of Injury
Genesis 45:4
And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother…


A little boy being asked what forgiveness is, gave the beautiful answer: "It is the odour that flowers breathe when they are trampled upon." Philip the Good, when some of his courtiers would have persuaded him to punish a prelate who had used him ill, he declined, saying, "It is a fine thing to have revenge in one's power; but it is a finer thing not to use it."
