Regrets Quotes - page 5

How ungenerously in later life we disclaim the virtuous moods of our youth, living in retrospect long, summer days of unreflecting dissipation. There is no candour in a story of early manhood which leaves out of account the home-sickness for nursery morality, the regrets and resolutions of amendment, the black hours which, like zero on the roulette table, turn up with roughly calculable regularity. (Evelyn Waugh)

Remember when the British were defeated at Dunkirk during the Second World War? Well, in 1945 they were in Berlin. In other words, the fall of Puerto Argentino will not mean the end of conflict or our defeat. I therefore have no regrets. Indeed, I am not alone in believing that what we did on April 2 was right. All the Argentine people believe this. View quote

I have to go away, but with regrets and with the firm intention to come back soon. I consider most sound I am an individual Gorky – and it is my individual feeling which counts for the most. Why? I do not know nor do I wish to know. I accept it as a fact, which does not need explanation. View quote
Arshile Gorky

David Gilmour
Afterwards they did as the others had done, as human beings always do, as they themselves would do many times again in the strange future - they sat with their eyes half-closed and the same uneasy look of shame and terror in them as Amy and her lover. But these two required no artificial stimulus for their love. They had no need of the night. And they felt no culpability. They were two grand young creatures, driven together naturally by the very force of their love, and their ardour cleansed everything, like fire. They were innocent. They had no regrets and felt no remorse. They thought they were united. (Henri Barbusse)

One of the minor regrets, not really a big regret, is that I've never published a paper with Mac Burnet. I've published 500 papers, not a single one has Burnet as a co-author. He did not believe in putting his name on a paper if he hadn't done at least one third of the work himself. A sort of an honest unselfish approach, when it comes time to reap the glory you do it without having someone grabbing it instead of you. View quote
Frank Macfarlane Burnet
Apologizes are pointless, regrets come too late. What matters is you can move, on you can grow. View quote
