It took me less than half a lifetime to realize that regret is one of the few guaranteed certainties. Sooner or later everything is touched by it, despite our naive and senseless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart.

I don't have many regrets. I regret mistakes, particularly those that damage other people, and we've all made some of those. But I'm not sad about change.

We all have regrets, but the thing is to learn from life.

When we grow old, there can only be one regret - not to have given enough of ourselves.

Regret is the worst human emotion. If you took another road, you might have fallen off a cliff. I'm content.

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.

There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean, I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it, it's like guilt, it's like jealousy, it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out, because they're no good.

Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.

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

I have quite a robust relationship with regret. You simply don't know what the alternative would have been.
