National Kiss and Make Up Day is marked every year on April 25 to let people know that a simple act of forgiveness can end the quarrels, arguments, and fights.

To celebrate this day, reconcile with your close ones and let them know you care with a kiss.

Here are some quotes about forgiveness, courtesy Goal Cast, to share on this day:

1. "All major religious traditions carry basically the same message; that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives." — Dalai Lama

2. "Forgive, forget. Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours." — Phillips Brooks

3. "I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It’s a gift you give yourself." — T. D. Jakes

4. "Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting." — William Arthur Ward

5. "You can’t forgive without loving. And I don’t mean sentimentality. I don’t mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it.’ — Maya Angelou

6. "It’s not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place, because it frees you." — Tyler Perry

7. "Without forgiveness life is governed by an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation." — Roberto Assagioli

8. "When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free." — Katherine Ponder

9. "Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again." — Saint Augustine

10. "The remedy for life’s broken pieces is not classes, workshops or books. Don’t try to heal the broken pieces. Just forgive." — Iyanla Vanzant
