True Repentance

"Repentance is the turning away from that which is low and the striving for that which is higher."
"Does Christ really believe that you won't do it again?"
"Would you judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure? Take this rule: now note - whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, takes off your relish of spiritual things, whatever increases the authority of the body over the mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may seem in itself."
