Forgiving is Love, Forgetting takes humility

My neighbor said, "To forgive is love, to forget is humility."
I thought this was quiet profound. She said it came from a Mother Teresa quote.
So, here's the quote:

"Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love, how to forget out of humility...
Is my love for others so great, so real as to forgive, not out of duty but out of love?"

I think my neighbor said it pretty well.
It's an amazing thing to ponder forgiving as love, and forgiving as an act, or statement of humility.
