Sincere Repentance

Famous quotes containing the words sincere and/or repentance:

“I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men’s lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Try what repentance can. What can it not?
Yet what can it, when one cannot repent?”
