Tags: Life, Lonely ✍ Author: Truman CapoteIf you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.
Tags: Forward, Pain ✍ Author: Jim CarreyThose allies who failed to join us will regret it. They're making a mistake.
Tags: Making, Mistake ✍ Author: Al D\'AmatoThe biggest regret I have about 'Rubicon' is that we didn't end it. Sometimes you do these shows and you don't have the opportunity to get closure. Stories are supposed to have a beginning, middle and an end.
Tags: End, Sometimes ✍ Author: James Badge DaleMy biggest regret is that I didn't teach my two children how to speak Spanish.
Tags: Children, Speak ✍ Author: Henry DarrowIt is possible that a scientific discovery will be made that humans will later regret because it has awful consequences. The problem is, we probably would not know in advance and, once the discovery is made, it cannot be undiscovered.
Tags: Cannot, Problem ✍ Author: Paul DaviesI do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business.
Tags: Business, Enemy ✍ Author: Bette DavisI don't keep it secret that I live with my partner Gio. I'm very proud of my gayness. But there is lots I wouldn't want the press to write about me... it is a matter of regret that being gay is the most interesting thing about me.
Tags: Gay, Proud ✍ Author: Evan DavisI rarely come away from presenting the 'Today' programme without some sense of regret. There is always some question that I should have asked, or some point that I should have made. This is annoying but not surprising. Perfection is hard to achieve in a three-hour live programme.
Tags: Hard, Today ✍ Author: Evan DavisYouth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.
Tags: Age, Struggle ✍ Author: Benjamin DisraeliWe very much regret that our merger with Sprint was not allowed to proceed.
Tags: Allowed, Proceed ✍ Author: Bernard EbbersI love meeting 'the Odd Man Out' - like fans of 'Baywatch' who regret, as I do, that Tower 12 Productions didn't put nearly as much energy into writing and directing the show as they put into photographing and editing it.
Tags: Love, Writing ✍ Author: Nicole EggertThe one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable, like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.
Tags: Money, Movies ✍ Author: Barbara EhrenreichThink of your pension and start saving. Like my father, I have been a spendthrift, and I regret that.
Tags: Father, Start ✍ Author: Britt EklandThat's why I ended up leaving school - because it required so much time, and it was such an excellent idea. I figured I would regret not going full force with this idea. It seemed we could make something of it.
Tags: School, Time ✍ Author: Shawn FanningI lost my moral compass and I have done terrible things that I very much regret.
Tags: Done, Lost ✍ Author: Andrew FastowVisit partners pages
I still regret that I never played soccer in high school. I chose basketball over soccer.
Tags: Basketball, School ✍ Author: Will FerrellSometimes I wish I never found the Internet. Sometimes I regret getting a laptop and Wi-Fi for logging into the Internet because it is such a distraction. If you have any addictive personality, the Internet will magnify it.
Tags: Sometimes, Wish ✍ Author: Lupe FiascoI regret the whole worlds that will never come into existence, the children, the grandchildren, all the human possibilities that never were and never will be.
Tags: Children, Human ✍ Author: Liam GallagherYes, the meeting of dear friends atones for the regret of separation; and like it so much enhances affection, that after absence one wonders how one has been able to stay away from them so long.
Tags: After, Friends ✍ Author: Marguerite GardinerMy biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets - Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet.
Tags: Body, Diet ✍ Author: Jennie GarthI really didn't feed off the whole Olympic experience at all, and I regret that from an athletic perspective, and also from a personal experience. I feel like I missed out, so I'm not going to do that this time.
Tags: Experience, Time ✍ Author: Ryan HallThe person whose doors I enter with most pleasure, and quit with most regret, never did me the smallest favor.
Tags: Pleasure, Quit ✍ Author: William HazlittI don't have nothing to regret at all in the past, except that I might've unintentionally hurt somebody else or something.
Tags: Hurt, Past ✍ Author: Jimi HendrixI have many regrets, and I'm sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret... if you have any sense, and if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid.
Tags: Sense, Stupid ✍ Author: Katharine HepburnI have always found that if I move with seventy-five percent or more of the facts that I usually never regret it. It's the guys who wait to have everything perfect that drive you crazy.
Tags: Crazy, Perfect ✍ Author: Lee IacoccaI regret the times I've been mean to people... It's fine to pick on people who can defend themselves and deserve it. Some people don't deserve to be picked on who I picked on, so I don't do it anymore.
Tags: Mean, Themselves ✍ Author: Don ImusI would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
Tags: Happen, President ✍ Author: Andrew JacksonI am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.
Tags: Feelings, Life ✍ Author: Andrew JacksonWhen I'm feeling down on myself or not feeling good about who I am, or maybe something happened and I'm feeling depressed, I eat to fill that void. Afterwards I'll beat myself up about it. I regret doing it, but I'll turn around and do it again.
Tags: Feeling, Good ✍ Author: Janet JacksonThe past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Tags: Business, Song ✍ Author: Cheryl JamesI think I don't regret a single 'excess' of my responsive youth - I only regret, in my chilled age, certain occasions and possibilities I didn't embrace.
Tags: Age, Single ✍ Author: Henry JamesRonald Reagan felt very great regret about the deficits to which he contributed on his watch.

Tags: Beautiful, Used ✍ Author: Kiri Te KanawaUncertainty is the worst of all evils until the moment when reality makes us regret uncertainty.
Tags: Moment, Reality ✍ Author: Alphonse KarrIt's commonly said that people who've been ill in childhood and who've had an upset education never really regret that they do. It means that you don't look at the world in the way that other people do, and if you were inclined to be a writer, that's a help.
Tags: Education, Help ✍ Author: John KeeganI see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both.

Tags: Cannot, Life ✍ Author: Jack MaWhen I am in the Scottish Parliament chamber, I often feel the need to sit for the entire debate. It's only courteous to listen to what everyone has to say, although I often find myself desperate to say something but too scared to stand up in case I regret it.

Tags: Best, Yourself ✍ Author: Andie MacDowellI should not regret a fair and full trial of the entire abolition of capital punishment.
Tags: Fair, Full ✍ Author: James MadisonOf course there are regrets. I shall regret always that I found my own authentic voice in politics. I was too conservative, too conventional. Too safe, too often. Too defensive. Too reactive. Later, too often on the back foot.
Tags: Often, Politics ✍ Author: John MajorI inherited a sick economy and passed on a sound one. But one abiding regret for me is that, in between, I did not have the resources to put in place the educational and social changes about which I cared to much; I made only a beginning, and it was not enough.
Tags: Enough, Sick ✍ Author: John MajorI don't have a shred of regret about entering the exchange-rate mechanism.
Tags: Mechanism, Shred ✍ Author: John MajorI have no tattoos that I regret - I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was.
Tags: Changed, Life ✍ Author: NasThe bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.
Tags: Morning, Night ✍ Author: Ogden NashWe believe that the vote would have been close. We regret that in the face of an explicit threat to veto by a permanent member, the vote-counting became a secondary consideration.
Tags: Face, Vote ✍ Author: John NegroponteI had the benefit of experiencing a hundred times more than the average kid. I don't look back with regret at all. It was the best life ever.
Tags: Best, Life ✍ Author: Corin NemecI have questioned myself about the brutality in the last few novels. Actually in 'The Leopard,' in hindsight, I feel I went a little bit too far with screaming blood. There are a couple of scenes that I regret and wish I had the chance to rewrite. 'Phantom' has less blood.
Tags: Chance, Wish ✍ Author: Jo NesboOne of the things I regret is that too often in our society a person's whole identity is shaped by their sexuality, or by their sexual orientation. In good Catholic eyes, a person's sexual orientation does not matter.
Tags: Good, Society ✍ Author: Vincent NicholsEvery comedian dreams of hosting 'The Tonight Show' and, for seven months, I got to. I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second.

Tags: Discipline, Pain ✍ Author: Jim RohnO love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.
Tags: Age, Love ✍ Author: Jean-Jacques RousseauWith all of their benefits, and there are many, one of the things I regret about e-books is that they have taken away the necessity of trawling foreign bookshops or the shelves of holiday houses to find something to read. I've come across gems and stinkers that way, and both can be fun.
Tags: Away, Fun ✍ Author: J. K. RowlingAlways Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Tags: Read, Time ✍ Author: Francoise SaganOnce my heart was captured, reason was shown the door, deliberately and with a sort of frantic joy.

Tags: Heart, Struggle ✍ Author: George SandWe can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.
Tags: Friends, Success ✍ Author: Arthur SchopenhauerDo I regret taking the company public? Yes and no. Yes, because it put us under enormous pressure for a young company to go public at that point in its history, something you never could have done in the old days.
Tags: Done, History ✍ Author: Al-Waleed bin TalalMy part had three lines. I said, 'You look wonderful, sir,' three times. All my friends said, 'Do not take that role - and do not understudy. You'll regret it the rest of your life.' I did both of those things, and I've never regretted it once.
Tags: Friends, Life ✍ Author: Jeffrey TamborI have always done my duty. I am ready to die. My only regret is for the friends I leave behind me.
Tags: Done, Friends ✍ Author: Zachary TaylorMake the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.
Tags: Regrets, Sad ✍ Author: Henry David ThoreauI think the beauty looks I most regret are those I was persuaded into.
Tags: Beauty, Looks ✍ Author: Dita Von TeeseI have always believed, heretofore, in the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are born free and equal; but of late it appears that some men are born slaves, and I regret that they are not black, so all the world might know them.
Tags: Black, Men ✍ Author: Benjamin F. WadeI expend far too much of my maternal energies on guilt and regret.
Tags: Far, Guilt ✍ Author: Ayelet WaldmanRegrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently.
Tags: History, Regrets ✍ Author: Charles Dudley WarnerIf I am no longer disturbed myself, I will deal less with disturbed people, but I don't regret having concerned myself with them because I think most of us are disturbed.

Tags: Often, Perfection ✍ Author: Emile ZolaThe man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you must accept regret.
Tags: Life, Perfect ✍ Author: Henri Frederic AmielI was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.
Tags: History, Science ✍ Author: Gillian AndersonI have a tendency to go through my life at full speed and as a one-man band, and so I don't generally stop and take in other people enough to develop many relationships. I'm starting to regret that a bit. I want to change it.
Tags: Change, Life ✍ Author: Gillian AndersonPeople only stutter at the beginning of the word. They're not afraid when they get to the end of the word. There's just regret.
Tags: Afraid, End ✍ Author: Laurie AndersonI think many experiences are bound to be failures, and sometimes I regret them before they even happen.
Tags: Happen, Sometimes ✍ Author: Keren AnnI do think it's important to live in the present because in that way you won't be living in a state of regret.
Tags: Living, State ✍ Author: Francesca AnnisI'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go, because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family, which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.
Tags: Family, Life ✍ Author: Francesca AnnisBut I certainly made mistakes, for which I regret, I think most human beings in their lifetime make mistakes, mine ended up in two years prison - two very remarkable years from which I learnt a lot.
