that depends on whether you're speaking of a person or a situation.

its never too late to correct a past mistake but i also believe once a mistake is made its gone for good no one can change the past and some just move on. if you truely love some one or they truely love you they may always come back to you later on in life it does no good to hold on to past mistakes

It is never too late as long as you are alive just do it instead of regreting later. Since you are now aware of the mistake, don't think much about the response for you will have played your reconciling role. Good luck!

Depends - sometimes the past is best left where it is. Only you can know the answer. If what you want to do involves someone from years ago who has moved on and is now happy, and your intention is to appear in their life again I would say just leave well alone. If they are happy then you must move on and look on it as you missed your chance when you had it - its a lesson learned.

Forgiveness.
Forgiveness requires an "Examination of conscience", "Act of Contrition", "Say you offense out loud", "Ask for Forgiveness", "Ask for Penance", & "Follow through with the Penance".
Have you ever confessed your sins to a Priest? This is how they teach forgivness. God is merciful - God's mercy is eternal. This is kinda like practice. Say you offence is commiting adultry. Certainly, it's good to ask God first to forgive ... examine why adultry hurts God, you, your partner, & society (u're family, neighbors). Then find true sorrow in u'r heart (contrition).
You have to tell the person you commited adultry against - and ask them to forgive you. They might not forgive you --- God's mercy is infinate --- but mankind is still learning mercy. Should they forgive you, then they should give you steps to make them feel secure that you're in the relationship (penance). This could be giving up computer (if u meet the person on the net) ... telephone ... anything that will take away the pain and insecurity you placed on them. (Like that tv show: My name's Earl ... try to heal the one's you've hurt)
You also need to learn to forgive yourself. Too often, we are the hardest critisizers of oursleves. You need to do all you can to repair, and if you aren't granted the forgivness ... you need to forgive yourself, learn so you won't do again in future ... and move on with life.
It is always best to live in truth ... and you will grow regardless if forgivness is bestowed on you by your beloved whom you've harmed.

depends what or who mistake is...
anyway, it's never too late to correct one. if you are really honest and have regrets try to think the best ways to correct your deals.
if you took something that doesn't belong to you put it back and say you're sorry... if you cheated and have no courage to admit leave them, it will heart like hell, but it's the only thing left to do... if you have a baby you don't want, don't harm him/her give him/her out for adoption...

it's never to late, you have to find it in your heart first, then ask for it from them and that is all you can do and the rest is on them, you can't live in the past, cause honey it will ruin your life, we all make mistakes were human and they also have to understand that, i'am sure they have also made mistakes and want forgiveness for them so as long as you have forgaven it that is all that matters and pray to GOD they have it in there heart as well, good luck.

Do your best to repair whatever damage you might have caused.
You cannot undo the past, but it is still there for you to learn from.
A great deal of unhappiness comes from our difficulty in forgiving ourselves.
Once you begin to accept this philosophy, you will discover the road to inner peace.
