Forgivness begins with me!

I know there are many times that I get angry at people and I hate being the one that has to apologize. But I'm finally starting to grasp that even if they're the ones who are wrong, we still need to forgive them. I know forgiving people doesn't come easy, especially when they are your friend and they really hurt you. I am learning to be quicker to forgive, but I'm still human and need help...so here are some quotes that I hope will help you, as well as myself.
