Anselm of Canterbury quotes about
forgiveness doe purpose
There is no inconsistency in God's commanding us not to take upon ourselves what belongs to Him alone. For to execute vengeance belongs to none but Him who is Lord of all; for when the powers of the world rightly accomplish this end, God himself does it who appointed them for the purpose.
repentance pardon
God hath promised pardon to him that repenteth, but he hath not promised repentance to him that sinneth.
humility disaster teach
Disasters teach us humility.
lust pleasure procreation
Lust desireth not procreation, but pleasure only.
forgiveness sin
It is, therefore, not proper for God thus to pass over sin unpunished.
