For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been!
Whittier, John Greenleaf

Only in your imagination can you revise.
Wray, Fay

3.
My one regret in life is that I'm not someone else.
Allen, Woody

4.
Let's not burden our remembrance with a heaviness that's gone.
Shakespeare, William

5.
Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.
Mansfield, Katherine

6.
Footfalls echo in the memory down the passage which we did not take towards the door we never opened into the rose-garden.
Eliot, T. S.

You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it!

Dyer, Wayne

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.
Miller, Arthur

16.
The only things I regret... are the things I didn't do.
Karbo, Joe

17.
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.
Halas, George

18.
Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it come to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.
Thoreau, Henry David

19.
I have no regrets, I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.
Bergman, Ingrid

20.
Go to the effort. Invest the time. Write the letter. Make the apology. Take the trip. Purchase the gift. Do it. The seized opportunity renders joy. The neglected brings regret.
Lucado, Max L.

21.
People have to face regrets. Becoming mature means learning to accept what you cannot change, facing unresolved sorrows and learning to love life as it really happens, not as you would have it happen. When someone attaches unkindness to criticism, she's angry. Angry people need to criticize as an outlet for their anger. That's why you must reject unkind criticism. Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish. Life isn't supposed to be an all ornothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn't supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or a terrible loss. It's just another day.
Sher, Barbara

22.
Regrets are the natural property of gray hairs.
Dickens, Charles

23.
Nostalgia: When you find the present tense and past perfect.
Lion, The

24.
There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory.
Proust, Marcel

25.
The worst thing that one can do is not try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized -- and never knowing.
Viscott, David

26.
Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.
Mansfield, Katherine

27.
I have no regrets because I know I did my best -- all I could do.
Ito, Midori

28.
People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.
Dylan, Bob

29.
I have many regrets, and I'm sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret if you have any sense, and if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid.
Hepburn, Katharine

30.
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Christie, Agatha

31.
It's the things I might have said that fester.
Dane, Clemence

32.
Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains, if we will only stop the waste and the idle, useless regretting.
Brisbane, Arthur
