If you have made a mistake, admit it frankly.

Don’t evade the results.

Humbly bear the darts of criticism.

Don’t think that you can immediately heal up the breach around your name.

However, don’t star crying uselessly, for this is not your first, nor will it be your last, error.

Lift up your head and start again.

Show sincerity in the readjustment.

Begin the task of good actions, on whatever scale you can, by distributing bits of yourself and of your influence, to as many as you may be useful, for every vibration of gratitude serves as material for reparation.

Work, ever aiding, in the certainty that honest work, with time, will heal every bruise an silence all censure.

But don’t fall again into the same error, for whoever knows the mistake he is committing, is in truth not in the trap of error but is instead consciously wielding the trap of evil.
