A Gift to Yourself

It’s one of the toughest things in the world when somebody has hurt you, and you can find within yourself the strength to begin the whole process of forgiveness.  And it turns out to be the gift to you, not so much the gift to the person you’re forgiving.

— Fred Rogers, quoted in The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers, by Amy Hollingsworth, p. 98
