Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.

Summary

This quote suggests that while it is natural for the injured or wronged parties to seek forgiveness, those who have committed the wrongdoing often struggle to offer forgiveness to themselves. It implies that those who have done wrong may find it challenging to let go of guilt or shame, making it difficult for them to fully pardon themselves. In contrast, it implies that forgiveness comes more naturally to those who have been hurt, as they have less internal conflict to overcome in order to grant forgiveness.
