PENITENCE
[ Also see Repentance ]

Christian penitence is something more than a thought or an emotion or a tear; it is action.
      - William Adams

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

It would tire the hands of an angel to write down all the pardons God bestows upon true, penitent believers.
      - Joshua Bates

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.
      - Theodore Ledyard Cuyler

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.
      - Frederic Dan Huntington

He who is penitent is almost innocent.
      - Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
