"I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it can never be shown against one.
-Henry Ward Beecher
This quote speaks in volumns, how many times have we said this or heard someone say this. To forgive means to forget, by forgiving, you are able to move on with your life, if you forgive and never forget, all you is doing is harvesting on the past and that can build hatred in your heart where there should be love. So by saying I can forgive but never forget, just don't forgive and keep it moving.
