Not found. The Jubilee name index identifies «Робертсон Фредерик (1816—1853) — английский богослов и проповедник», vol. 41, p. 533. The nearest place found is in Robertson's notes on the penitential Psalm 51 (Related): men lay the blame on circumstances, on their tempters, on Adam, Satan, or their own nature, while David suggests 'no source of evil' but his own will. It has the thought of Tolstoy's first sentence ('It is dangerous to look for the cause of evil outside ourselves') and nothing of the second ('Repentance then becomes impossible'), and no sentence there is close enough to be the source.
