Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back.

Katherine Mansfield

I regret that I was never an athlete. I regret there isn't time in life. I regret that so many of my friends have died. I regret that I was not brave at certain times in my life. I regret that I'm not beautiful. I regret that my conversation is largely with myself. I'm not part of the conversation of the world.

Richard Rodriguez

Regret is an appalling waste of energy, and no one who intends to be a writer can afford to indulge in it.

Katherine Mansfield

We were never lovers, and we never will be, now. I do not regret that, however. I regret the conversations we never had, the time we did not spend together. I regret that I never told him that he made me happy, when I was in his company. The world was the better for his being in it. These things alone do I now regret: things left unsaid. And he is gone, and I am old.

Neil Gaiman

You're never going to regret working out or being active. You might regret not doing it, you might regret pressing that snooze button, but you'll never regret getting physically active.

Tessa Virtue

My mother always taught me never to look back in regret but to move on to the next thing. The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me. I have fun running all the Virgin businesses-so a setback is never a bad experience, just a learning curve.

Richard Branson

Huizi would say, never look back to the past. Never regret. Even if there is emptiness ahead, never look back.

Xiaolu Guo

Regret is an appalling waste of time.

Katherine Mansfield

I never regret. I don't like to look back on my life and have regrets.

Sarah Harding

Boldness in the course of a noble fight is worth the risk... If you stand on truth, you'll only regret your timidity later, but you'll never regret being bold.

Charles R. Swindoll

Never, never waste a minute on regret. It's a waste of time.

Harry S. Truman

If I regret leaving City, I'd regret leaving Madrid, I would regret Arsenal, and I would regret maybe even Metz, where I started off. So I have no regrets in life; life is too short to start regretting things.

Emmanuel Adebayor

It is said that if our intention is to help others-even if we are unable to follow it through-we will never have any regret. Regret is a result of trying to make "me" happy.

Sakyong Mipham

Where is my guilt? I can regret. I can regret that I made the party film, `Triumph of the Will,' in 1934. But I cannot regret that I lived in that time. No anti-Semitic word has ever crossed my lips. I was never anti-Semitic. I did not join the party. So where then is my guilt? You tell me. I have thrown no atomic bombs. I have never betrayed anyone. What am I guilty of?

Leni Riefenstahl

When you look at life retrospectively you rarely regret anything that you did, but you might regret things that you didn't do.

Jack Nicholson

I always tell myself, 'There are so many things you regret doing or eating, but you never regret a workout.' I always feel better after a workout. I have more energy, and mentally, I'm in a better place.
