#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."

"Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, "It might have been."

"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

"We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success."

"Happiness is a strange thing. It is something I tend to recognize only after it has passed, when I realize I miss it."

"Our biggest regrets are not for the things we have done but for the things we haven't done"

"Poor creatures. What did we do to you? With all our schemes and plans?"

"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."

"I'll sleep forever and meet you in my dreams; it'll hurt less anyway. But the pain of losing you was worth the pleasure of having you, and I rest in bed knowing you'll know for the rest of your life what you are missing.-Karen Quan and Jarod Kintz"

"It’s not that we have to quit this life one day, but it’s how many things we have to quit all at once: music, laughter,the physics of falling leaves, automobiles, holding hands,the scent of rain, the concept of subway trains... if only one could leave this life slowly!"

"The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all."

"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."

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor WitShall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

"Never look back unless you are planning to go that way."

"I wouldn't have missed a single minute of it, Not for the whole world."

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

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

"My one regret in life is that I am not someone else."

"Have you ever hoped for something? And held out for it against all the odds? Until everything you did was ridiculous?"

"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."
