Remorse4 quotes
Remorse sleeps during a prosperous period but wakes up in adversity. — Jean-Jacques Rousseau · 1781Things said or done long years ago,
Or things I did not do or say
But thought that I might say or do,
Weigh me down, and not a day
But something is recalled,
My conscience or my vanity appalled. — W.B. Yeats · 1933Of all means to regeneration Remorse is surely the most wasteful. It cuts away healthy tissues with the poisoned. It is a knife that probes far deeper than the evil. — E.M. Forster · 1910The highest sacrifice is a broken and contrite heart; the highest wisdom is that which is found in the Torah; the noblest of all ornaments is modesty; and the most beautiful thing that man can do, is to forgive a wrong. — Eleazar of Worms · 1200Regret3 quotes
