Then judge of my regret
To think more happy thou hadst been
If we had never met.
A series of congratulatory regrets.
Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regret.
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
On lips that are for others; deep as love,--
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret.
Oh death in life, the days that are no more!
O last regret, regret can die!
The man who seeks one thing in life and but one
May hope to achieve it before life is done;
But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes
Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows
A harvest of barren regrets.

The follies which a man regrets most in his life are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity. -Helen Rowland.
