Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.
Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.
When one door closes another door opens. Usually a refrigerator.
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.
I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.
A great source of calamity lies in regret and anticipation; therefore a person is wise who thinks of the present alone, regardless of the past or future.
Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
I don't regret my past, I just regret the time I've wasted on the wrong people.
Oh! My beloved! fill the cup, that clears to-day of past regrets and future fears.
The only way to maintain a moderate sum of happiness in this life, is not to worry about the future or regret the past too much
To regret the past, to hope in the future, and never to be satisfied with the present: that is what I spend my whole life doing
I'm living with every step. I can't live with regret. The past is the past. I'm not worried about it. I can't change it. I can't fix it. It is what it is. I'm just living.
Today, I will try to remember to regret the past. I will think of how many mistakes I have made throughout my life. I will say to myself, "If only I could go back in time and make different choices, so that my life could be the way it should have been." Then I will remind myself that I cannot.
Above all, documentary must reflect the problems and realities of the present. It cannot regret the past; it is dangerous to prophesy the future. It can, and does, draw on the past in its use of existing heritages but it only does so to give point to a modern argument. In no sense is documentary a historical reconstruction and attempts to make it so are destined to failure. Rather it is contemporary fact and event expressed in relation to human associations.
Don't regret the past or fear the future. Both bring misery through self-doubt.
The only thing we can control is what we do in the present. The more we replay yesterday, the further we get from today's opportunities. And the further away we move from opportunities, the tougher the road is to get back. Opportunities never look as good coming as they do going, and they wait for no one. We need to be highly attentive to spot them. And we must be focused on our present capabilities, not past regrets.
