Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, was reminded one day of a vicious deed that someone had done to her years before. But she acted as if she had never even heard of the incident.

“Don’t you remember it?” her friend asked.

“No,” came Barton’s reply, “I distinctly remember forgetting it.”

General Oglethorpe once said to John Wesley, “I never forgive and I never forget.”

To which Wesley replied, “Then, Sir, I hope you never sin.”
