What a fearful price people pay for their revenge—a price which staggers their advancement, kills their efficiency, ruins their happiness, their characters.

I have known people to carry for years feelings of bitter hatred and a desire for revenge, a determination to "get square" with those who injured them, until their whole characters were so changed that they became almost inhuman. Hatred, revenge, and jealousy are poisons just as fatal to all that is noblest in us as arsenic is fatal to the physical life. And then think for a moment how unmanly, how unwomanly, how despicable it is to be waiting for an opportunity to injure another, or to "get square" with some one!

Robert Browning says: "It is good to forgive, best to forget." Many people, however, say of some one who has done them an injury, "I can forgive, but I can never forget." Now, this is not forgiving, for as long as we hold the injury done us in mind, we do not forgive from our hearts. This is not love's way. It is not God's way, for He has said to the wrongdoer who repents, "Though thy sins be as scarlet they shall be made whiter than snow."
