Formulas have been crafted to help us remember some of the essential actions required for full repentance. While they are helpful, generally they ignore the most fundamental aspect of repentance – that it is centered in Jesus Christ and his atonement.
-Richard G. Scott

When a person goes through the repentance process, he is not only eligible to be cleansed from sin, but he is also strengthened. We must also be changed from a weak person who once transgressed into a strong person with the spiritual stature that qualifies one to dwell in the presence of God.
-LDS Church News

I readily confess that I would find no peace, neither happiness nor safety, in a world without repentance. I do not know what I should do if there were no way for me to erase my mistakes. The agony would be more than I could bear.
-Boyd K. Packer

In the battle of life, the adversary takes enormous numbers of prisoners, and many who know of no way to escape and are pressed into his service. Every soul confined to a concentration camp of sin and guilt has a key to the gate. The adversary cannot hold them if they know how to use it. The key is labeled Repentance. The twin principles of repentance and forgiveness exceed in strength the awesome power of the adversary.
-Boyd K. Packer

Repentance is the key with which we can unlock the prison from inside. We hold that key within our hands, and agency is ours to use it. (Ensign, May 1988)
-Boyd K. Packer

I readily confess that I would find no peace, neither happiness nor safety, in a world without repentance. I do not know what I should do if there were no way for me to erase my mistakes. The agony would be more than I could bear. It may be otherwise with you, but not with me. (Ensign May 1988)
-Boyd K. Packer

Again, while we are blessed with and need the principle of repentance, with its soothing, prescriptive balm, prevention is still the primary task! (New Era, May 1971)
