contrition
To err is human: but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked. [ Alfieri ]
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. [ Washington Irving ]
