Repent

Famous quotes containing the word repent:

“Ah, Faustus,
Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
And then thou must be damned perpetually!
Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
That time may cease and midnight never come!
Fair Nature’s eye, rise, rise again and make
Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
That Faustus may repent and save his soul!”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

“Thus grief still treads upon the heels of pleasure:
Married in haste, we may repent at leisure.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)

“May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
