("Hasidis and men of action - let us say Rabban: There are some among them who say, "Blessed is our childhood, which does not disgrace our old age" - these are Hasidim and men of action, and there are some among them who say, "Blessed is our old age, which atones for our childhood" - these are the ones who repent.
