Repent

Famous quotes containing the word repent:

    My faith shall wax, when thou art in thy waning.
    The world shall find this miracle in me,
    That fire can burn when all the matter’s spent:
    Then what my faith hath been thyself shalt see,
    And that thou wast unkind thou may’st repent.—
    Thou may’st repent that thou hast scorn’d my tears,
    When Winter snows upon thy sable hairs.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    I never did repent for doing good,
    Nor shall not now.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
