“When a child can be brought to tears, and not from fear of punishment, but from repentance he needs no chastisement. When the tears begin to flow from the grief of their conduct you can be sure there is an angel nestling in their heart.”
Horace Mann
“Sudden friendship, sure repentance.”
Proverb
“If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentance you'll certainly wipe; But if once you let the ripe moment go, You can never wipe off the tears of woe”
William Blake
“Every one goes astray, but the least imprudent are they who repent the soonest.”
Voltaire
“The Sun never repents of the good he does, nor does he ever demand a recompense”
Benjamin Franklin
“Do your duty today and repent tomorrow”
Mark Twain
“No Resolution of Repenting hereafter, can be sincere.”
