Frank Roennfeldt: You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day, all the time. You have to keep remembering the bad things. It's too much work.
Tom Sherbourne: Sometimes it's good to leave the past in the past.
Isabel Graysmark: So if I can't talk about the past, am I allowed to talk about the future?
Tom Sherbourne: We can't rightly talk about the future if you think about it. We can only talk about what we imagine or wish for. It's not the same thing.
Tom Sherbourne: Do what you like to me. I'm not asking forgiveness. My wife, she had no choice. Show her some mercy.
Tom Sherbourne: Sometimes it's good to leave the past in the past.
Tom Sherbourne: Sins catch up with you in the end.
Isabel Graysmark: What do you wish for then?
Tom Sherbourne: Life. That'll do me, I rekon.
