sincere regret Quotes

I am the type of person who believes an apology should be sincere and from the heart.

The words 'I'm sorry' are so powerful that it's almost difficult to overstate

He who is penitent is almost innocent.

It never hurts to apologize, especially if you don't mean it.

I'm Sorry are two of the most powerful words in our language, especially when they are not flipped blithely over the shoulder but spoken from the heart. They help restore order, balance, harmony. They reduce pain. They heal broken friendship. If they were medecine, they'd be called a miracle.

Repentance can become a very, very deep phenomenon in you if you understand the responsibility. Then even a small thing, if it becomes a repentance-- not just verbal, not just on the surface; if it goes deep to the roots, if you repent from the roots; if your whole being shakes and trembles and cries, and tears come out; not only out of your eyes but out of every cell of your body, then repentance can become a transfiguration.

The sense of repentance is better assurance of pardon than the testimony of an angel.

Though true repentance is never too late, yet late repentance is seldom true.
