The sorrow of the world

"It is wrong to believe that such men suffer in the conscience for what they do . . . it is only regret at being caught that troubles them. And they never admit it was any fault of their own . . . it was always chance, bad luck. . . . The criminal does not regret his crime, he only regrets failures." (from Lando, by Louis L'Amour)

What L'Amour says here agrees in general with the principle set forth by the Apostle Paul in his writings to the Corinthians where he speak of "the sorrow of this world."
