Satan tries to counterfeit the work of God, and by doing this, he may deceive many.

Quotes by Desmond Tutu

Quotes by Desmond Tutu

Quotes by Anthea Butler

Historically, narratives of forgiveness were part of both the anti-slavery movement and the civil rights movement in America.

Having moved for a position of saying 'I don't need forgiveness,' Mr. Trump is now taking a second look at past behaviors, things that he's said and done that he regrets. While he is not asking for forgiveness for being human, he is admitting that he's made mistakes and humbly making apologies.

Quotes by Alveda King

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.
