If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.
At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.
Fear not that the life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning.
FEAR, IT SHALL NEVER HAVE A BEGINNING
