In Sefer Chasidim, the author compares Baal Teshuva's to Tzadikim. I have heard that there is a Gemarah that does the same and was wondering if someone could cite that Gemarah.
Answer
The Gemara (Berachot 34B, Sanhedrin 99A) states in the name of Rav Abahu that "in the place where Masters of Repentance ("Ba'alei Teshuva") stand, even complete and utter Tzaddikim do not stand":
במקום שבעלי תשובה עומדין צדיקים גמורים אינם עומדין
