From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
May 24
'I have always found that mercy
bears richer fruits than strict justice.'
- Abraham Lincoln
'Not to forgive is to be imprisoned
by the past, by old grievances that do not permit life to proceed with new
business. Not to forgive is to be locked into a sequence of act and response,
of outrage and revenge, tit for tat, escalating always. The present is
endlessly overwhelmed and devoured by the past.'
- Lance Morrow
