Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Forgiveness

And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

	Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Forgiveness

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco "For lesser faults, take a youngster’s light-mindedness into consideration. For instance, it is rare to find boys who never tell lies or who on occasion will not steal trifles or eatables. Christian revenge consists in forgiving those who offend us and praying for them. Always conduct yourself in this way and your life will be a very happy one."

"Forgive others everything; yourself, nothing."

"Always tend to think well of other people. Give them credit, at least, for their good intentions. Never throw back into their faces wrong already forgiven. Do good to all, harm to no one."

"Be quick to forgive – and do so wholeheartedly – whenever a pupil shows he is sorry. In this case forget everything. Never say: “You will pay for this,” to one who may have disobeyed, answered back, or lacked respect. That would be very un-Christian."
