Other Jessamyn West Quotes
You make what seems a simple choice: choose a spouse or a job or a neighborhood- and what you have chosen is not a spouse or a job or a neighborhood, but a life. It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own. A broken bone can heal, but the wound a word opens can fester forever.
