Regrets are the natural property of grey hairs.
Regret is mostly caused by not having done anything. the mind barks like a dog.
Regret is a waste of time.
I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations – one can do either this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: Do it or do not do it – you will regret both.[Ja jeg indseer det nu fuldelig, der er to Tilfælde mulige, man kan enten gjøre det eller det, min oprigtige Mening og mit venskabelige Raad er som følger, gjør det eller gjør det ikke, Du vil fortryde begge Dele.]
I regret nothing. There have been things I missed, but I ask no questions, because I have loved it, such as it has been, even the moments of emptiness, even the unanswered – and that I loved it, that is the unanswered in my life.
For when regret calls to a person it is always late.[Thi naar Fortrydelsen kalder paa et Menneske er det altid silde.]
Don’t think about where we used to be, just think about where we are.
But then one regrets the loss even of one’s worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one’s personality.
