Is forgiving people of their faults and misdeeds an act of nobility and courage or an act of yielding and admitting defeat?













...for I hope my friends will pardon me when I declare I know none of them without a fault, and I should be sorry if I could imagine I had any friend who could not see mine. Forgiveness of this kind we give and demand in turn. It is an exercise of friendship and perhaps none of the least unpleasant. And this forgiveness we must bestow without desire of amendment. There is, perhaps, no super mark of folly than an attempt to corect the natural infirmity of those we love. The finest composition of human nature, as well as the finest china, may have a flaw in it!









Henry Fielding (April 22, 1707 – October 8, 1754) was an English novelist and dramatist known for his rich earthy humour and satirical prowess, and as the author of the novel Tom Jones. www.wikipedia.org
