Confessing Quotes

Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession. Mahatma Gandhi
Josh Billings quote: "Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven;..."
Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven; confess them to man and you will be laughed at. Josh Billings
Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spread its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly. Must I write? Rainer Maria Rilke
Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter; only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal. George Orwell
Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts. “There is a rock of greed over here, Father. I can’t budge it. And that tree of guilt near the fence? Its roots are long and deep. And may I show you some dry soil, too crusty for seed?” God’s seed grows better if the soil of the heart is cleared. Max Lucado
Tom Stoppard quote: "Confession is an act of violence against the unoffending."
Confession is an act of violence against the unoffending. Tom Stoppard
Dorothy Dix quote: "Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own..."
Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence. Dorothy Dix
Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff - it is a palliative rather than a remedy. Peter De Vries
Christopher Marlowe quote: "Confess and be hanged."
Confess and be hanged. Christopher Marlowe
Richard Rosen quote: "Confession, alas, is the new handshake."
Confession, alas, is the new handshake. Richard Rosen
The dividing line will run right through the confessing Church. Even if we make the confession of faith, it gives us no title to any special claim upon Jesus. We can never appeal to our confession or be saved simply on the ground that we have made it...The man who says "Lord, Lord" has either called himself to Jesus without the Holy Spirit, or else he has made out of the call of Jesus a personal privilege. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christ became our Brother in order to help us. Through him our brother has become Christ for us in the power and authority of the commission Christ has given him. Our brother stands before us the sign of the truth and the grace of God. He has been given to us to help us. He hears the confession of our sins in Christ's stead and he forgives our sins in Christ's name. He keeps the secret of our confession as God keeps it. When I go to my brother to confess, I am going to God. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
ANNE: You said you'd keep me in my room until I confessed. I just thought up a good confession and made it as interesting as I could. MARILLA: But it was still a lie. ANNE: You wouldn't believe the truth. L. M. Montgomery
And in fact you're not like everyone else: you weren't ashamed just now to confess bad and even ridiculous things about yourself. Who would confess such things nowadays? No one, and people have even stopped feeling any need for self-judgment. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Ayn Rand quote: "She knew that even pain can be confessed, but to confess..."
She knew that even pain can be confessed, but to confess happiness is to stand naked, delivered to the witness... Ayn Rand
