Where anger can be seen as a relative positive in a man, it is hardly ever perceived as anything other than a negative in a woman.

Maria Konnikova

It is a lie that our anger justifies our impulse to hurt or ignore our antagonists. We are to forgive to be forgiven. To wait for them to repent before we forgive and repent is to allow them to choose for us a delay which could cost us happiness here and hereafter.

Henry B. Eyring

Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do not know they have done anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need forgiveness.

C. S. Lewis

The irreligious don't repent at all and the religious only repent of sins. But Christians repent of their wrongfully placed righteousness.

Timothy Keller

To truly become Christians we must also repent of the reasons we ever did anything right.

Timothy Keller

Do you realize how marvelous it is that you can call upon the Atonement? The Lord effected the Atonement for our sakes. And there isn’t anything that you can’t repent from and that you can’t be rescued from if you will repent and be determined to make the decision.

Boyd K. Packer

Take care not to begin anything of which you may repent.

Publilius Syrus

The anger I have about high school - which I do have because they discouraged every interest I ever had; actually I call it anti-education - that anger led to my career.

John Waters

It's better to repent what you enjoyed than to repent not having enjoyed anything.

Giovanni Boccaccio

Kiran says (the shelf) is full of stories. If it is, then I like fairy stories. Fairy stories are fair. In them wishes are granted, words are enchanted, the honest and brave make it safely through to the last page and the baddies either have to give up their wickedness for ever and ever, no going back, or get ruthlessly written out of the story, which they hardly ever survive. Also in fairy stories there are hardly any of those half-good half-bad people that crop up so constantly in real life and are so difficult to believe in.

Hilary McKay

Yeah, I like clothes, but I hardly ever go shopping. Hardly ever!

Kate Moss

I repent me of the ignorance wherein I ever said that God made man out of nothing: there is no nothing out of which to make anything; God is all in all, and he made us out of himself.

George MacDonald

I had heard that when people lost people, there was anger. But I definitely experienced it a lot more than I was prepared for it. Anger was not something I'd ever really felt in my life and I was not prepared for it.
