Originál: (en) Repentance grows as faith grows. Do not make any mistake about it; repentance is not a thing of days and weeks. (…) No; it is the grace of a lifetime, like faith itself.

„Víru nelze dát člověku. Víra v člověku vzniká a roste.“
„Tolerance roste jen tehdy, když víra ztratí jistotu; jistota je vražedná.“
Originál: (en) Repentance and faith are distasteful to the unregenerate; they would sooner repeat a thousand formal prayers than shed a solitary tear of true repentance.

„Pamatuj, že ten, kdo skutečně činil pokání, není nikdy se svým pokáním spokojen.“

„Ač na pravé pokání nikdy není pozdě, pozdní pokání bývá zřídkakdy pravé.“
Originál: (en) Though true repentance is never too late, yet late repentance is seldom true.
Originál: (en) True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost.

Originál: (en) True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation — in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace, — in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.
