To do penance is to bewail the evil we have done, and to do no evil to bewail Picture Quote #1

There is more joy in heaven over a converted sinner than over a righteous person standing firm.

A farmer has greater love for land which bears fruitfully, after he has cleared it of thorns, than for land which never had thorns but which never yielded a fruitful harvest Picture Quote #1
