But once you understand that, I think the ramifications are worldwide.

Quotes by Martin Luther

I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes.

So I don't have a problem going to sleep at night.

Quotes by Mark Wahlberg

Sandy Meisner would say it takes 20 years to make an actor. Some people it takes five, some people 30. And you have to have patience and forgiveness for yourself. It's hard when you see people at your age or younger becoming successful.

My experience has shown me that many people struggle with forgiveness of self and/or others.

Mahatma Gandhi

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
