#Regret

"When someone you love says goodbye you can stare long and hard at the door they closed and forget to see all the doors God has open in front of you."

"I now, weak, old, diseased, poor, dying, hold still my soul in my hands, and I regret nothing."

"The advance of regret can be so gradual that it is impossible to say "yesterday I was happy, today I am not."

"You can't regret the life you didn't lead."

"Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so."

"I look out into the water and up deep into the stars. I beg the sparkling lanterns of light to cure me of myself — my past and the kaleidoscope of mistakes, failures and wrong turns that have stacked unbearable regret upon my shoulders."

"Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future."

"You'd think, 'What if I make a mistake today, I'll regret it'. I don’t believe in regret, I feel everything leads us to where we are and we have to just jump forward, mean well, commit and just see what happens."

"Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret."

"We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future."

"Never rearrange your life in order to meet Mr. Darcy half way. If he couldn’t see your worth at the moment you met then he won’t two years later. May the halls of Pemberly be filled with his regrets and your life filled with thankfulness because of this revelation."

"Everybody was sorry. Sorry was easy. Sorry was for suckers."

"..he wanted her.And at another time, as another man, he would have her. Without hesitation. As lover. . . as more."

"I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations — one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it — you will regret both."

"When your only regret is if anyone thinks you regret anything - that is the definition of conviction."

"Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you."

"You might be looking for reasons but there are no reasons."

"Droll thing life is -- that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself -- that comes too late -- a crop of inextinguishable regrets."

"Regrets came up and asked me if I’d like to own them. Declined them for the most part but took a few just so I wouldn’t leave this relationship empty handed."

"Oh no,"I said, because if our life is just one endless song about hope and regret, then "oh no"is apparently that song's chorus, the words we always return to."
