The everlasting repentance, not of the evil ways followed, but of the plans that have miscarried, the money that has been spent in vain, is as saddening a thing as one can well meet with.
Ce repentir éternel, non pas de la mauvaise route suivie, mais des calculs mal faits et de l'argent mal employé, est une des plus attristantes choses que l'on puisse entendre.
