Remorse is the punishment of crime; repentance, its expiation. The former appertains to a tormented conscience; the latter to a soul changed for the better.

How many weak shoulders have craved heavy burdens!
Strength is not energy; some authors have more muscles than talent.
He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.
