Oh!—how I pity that sordid man who does not in his last moments humbly and earnestly ask the forgiveness of every human being he has mistreated, and lovingly pardon everyone who has trespassed against him.
A triumph of the better nature on earth is felt throughout all eternity.
Genuine deathbed repentance awakens the latent energies of every noble impulse. Oh!—children of earth, when the time for your departure arrives, let the soul go forth in search of those you have injured if you have not done so before—the sooner the better, and implore their forgiveness—make amends for the wrong you have done—and then your nature will become illuminated with good intentions and your spirit will not be compelled to remain so long in darkness.
—Lucretus in Spirit
