“Remorse is impotence, it will sin again. Only repentance is strong, it can end everything.”
Henry Miller
“I couldn't bring myself to burn of all my sin and vanity because quite simply I'd have nothing left to burn”
Daniel Robert O'Neill
“If a man possesses a repentant spirit his sins will disappear, but if he has an unrepentant spirit his sins will continue and condemn him for their sake forever.”
Buddha
“Classic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. ROLLING IN THE MUCK IS NOT THE BEST WAY OF GETTING CLEAN.”
Aldous Huxley
“If you have sinned, do not lie down without repentance; for the want of repentance after one has sinned makes the heart yet harder and harder”
John Bunyan
“Sudden friendship, sure repentance.”
Proverb
“The sinning is the best part of repentance”
Arabian Proverb
