Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control. We can love and care for others but we cannot possess our children, lovers, family, or friends. We can assist them, pray for them, and wish them well, yet in the end their happiness and suffering depend on their thoughts and actions, not on our wishes.
- Jack Kornfield
The Irish do not want anyone to wish them well; they want everyone to wish their enemies ill.
- Harold Nicolson
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
