| Penitence |
| He who is penitent is almost innocent. Seneca. | 1 |
| Christian penitence is something more than a thought or an emotion or a tear; it is action. William Adams. | 2 |
| It would tire the hands of an angel to write down all the pardons God bestows upon true, penitent believers. Joshua Bates. | 3 |
| Know what your sin is and confess it; but do not imagine that you have approved yourself a penitent by confessing sin in the abstract. T. L. Cuyler. | 4 |
| If we do not know what the sorrow of penitence is, we have been living only on the surface of life—unmindful of its deep realities, unconscious of its grander glories. F. D. Huntington. | 5 |
| The law can never save us; and he is nearest to the forgiveness of the gospel who, with a contrite heart, discerns most clearly and feels most profoundly that perfection of the Divine statute which impeaches and condemns him. William Adams. | 6 |
