“Capitalism is presumably the first case of a blaming, rather than a repenting cult. ... An enormous feeling of guilt not itself knowing how to repent, grasps at the cult, not in order to repent for this guilt, but to make it universal, to hammer it into consciousness and finally and above all to include God himself in this guilt.”
“When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, "Repent," he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.”
“The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior.”
“There is one case of death-bed repentance recorded — the penitent thief — that no one should despair; and only one, that no one should presume.”
“Not all the drops the human eye can shed will ever quench the fires or blot out the guilt of sin. Do not, I pray you, be deceived on this point; do not permit yourselves to harbor the delusion that the rain-showers from your beclouded eyes can ever fertilize the barren soul, and cause it to blossom as the rose.”
“True repentance consists in the heart being broken for sin and broken from sin.”
