Classic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. ROLLING IN THE MUCK IS NOT THE BEST WAY OF GETTING CLEAN.

    Klassische Reue ist, da alle Moralisten einig sind, ein höchst unerwünschtes Gefühl. Wenn Sie sich schlecht benommen haben, tun Sie Buße, tun Sie, was Sie können, und stellen Sie sich der Aufgabe, sich beim nächsten Mal besser zu benehmen. in keinem Fall über Ihr Fehlverhalten grübeln. im Mist zu rollen ist nicht der beste Weg, sauber zu werden.

    o remorso clássico, como todos os moralistas estão de acordo, é um sentimento muito indesejável. se você se comportou mal, arrependa-se, faça o que puder e se dedique à tarefa de se comportar melhor da próxima vez. de maneira alguma meditar sobre suas transgressões. rolar na lama não é a melhor maneira de ficar limpo.
