regrets

Memories are like a garden. Regularly tend the pleasant blossoms and remove the invasive weeds.

One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.

Regrets are the tears of choices not made

Regrets are the tears of good deeds left undone

Life is too short for grief. Or regret. Or bullshit.

There was never a consequence so great as the regret of inaction.

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

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

If I should die tomorrow, I will have no regrets. I did what I wanted to do. You can't expect more from life.

Jane Fonda, who divided her life into three acts, decided after her sixtieth birthday that she was now facing the final act, and came to the following conclusion: "I thought to myself, well if that's the case and if what I'm scared of isn't death, but getting to the end with regrets, then I've got to figure out what would be the things that I would regret when I got to the last act if I hadn't done them or achieved them by then. And they were: having an intimate relationship and having made a difference."
