Does repentance wash away all your sins or crimes?

Repentance is the sorrow about past events or misdeeds.Some people show their repentance for their evil deeds but some don't.I don't know what is the reason behind it. My question is if we repent for our misdeeds, will you be pardoned by showing the repentance or all our misdeeds will be washed away? Secker says- Don't repent.Put all your energy into doing right things next time. John Dryden writes- Repentance is the virtue of weak minds. Do you agree with it? Isaac watts says- There is no repentance in the grave. I think that by showing repentance you can not be forgiven if you have misdeeds intentionally.If a crime or sin is committed unknowingly ,it may be forgiven but if intentionally,it may not be forgiven. People say "God sees your intentions not your actions." What do you think about it?

Well, God may see that but not humans. The loss once faced, is beyond repair so even repenting won't do any good.

That is very true! Facts of the life are totally different than the fiction!

@Aansh13 , That is why somethings though we know are very bitter to digest, still we try to ignore them!

That is true an intentional crime can't be forgiven with the repentance! The immense loss done to someone in the form of physical or emotional damage can never be compensated with the repentance!
