The ideal of womanhood in India is motherhood - that marvellous, unselfish, all - suffering, ever - forgiving mother.

It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.

Forgive offences by the million. And if you love all unselfishly, all will by degrees come to love one another.

Everything is ended if you forgive and forget.

You never hear of a mother cursing the child; she is forgiving, always forgiving.
