Ralph Venning
Image
Don't offer God partnership when he wants penitence. Don't present him with lip service when He wants your life.
William Henry Houghton

Patriotism means unqualified and unwavering love for the nation, which implies not uncritical eagerness to serve, not support for unjust claims, but frank assessment of its vices and sins, and penitence for them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
Man approaches God most nearly when he is in one sense least like God. For what can be more unlike than fullness and need, sovereignty and humility, righteousness and penitence, limitless power and a cry for help?
C. S. Lewis
Image
The incarnation of God is a necessity of human nature. If we reap and truly have a Father, we must be able to clasp His feet in our penitence, and to lean on His breast in our weary sorrowfulness.
Charles Deems
Image
Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them: they can be injured by us, they can be wounded they know all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence.
George Eliot

John Calvin
Image
All the impressions which are made on us by Nature are designed to exercise our soul during its terms of penitence, to prompt us towards the eternal truths shown beneath a veil, and to lead us to recover what we have lost.
Louis Claude de Saint-Martin
Image

Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
It's not my business to try and make God think like me... but to try, in prayer and penitence, to think like God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
There must be room for penitence to mend Life's broken chance else noise of wars would unmake heaven.
Alice Cary
Image
The happy sequence culminating in fellowship with God is penitence, pardon, and peace - the first we offer, the second we accept, and the third we inherit.
Charles Brent
Image
True penitence condemns to silence. What a man is ready to recall he would be willing to repeat.
F. H. Bradley
Image
The inward sighs of humble penitence Rise to the ear of Heaven, when peal'd hymns Are scatter'd with the sounds of common air.
Joanna Baillie
Image
Someone who is elated with wine speaks the truth on all subjects, even without meaning to. In the same way, anyone who is inebriated with the spirit of penitence will never be able to tell lies.
John Climacus
Image
Here is the interesting twist:[McLeod] Campbell came to his views through reading Jonathan Edwards who suggested at one point in his ruminations on the atonement that Christ could have offered up a perfect act of penitence instead of punishment, and that this would have been an acceptable offering suitable to remit our sinfulness.
