“At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.”

“I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed.”

“A good yarn, an offbeat tale, a bloodcurdling ghost story -- they need no explanation or excuse for the telling!”

“But as our explanation will be more brief than one broken in upon by words of wonder, regret, and affection, we will proceed to it; holding that explanation, like advice, should be of all convenient shortness.”

“"Let byegones be byegones," — they foolishly say,
And bid me be wise and forget them;
But old recollections are active to-day,
And I can do nought but regret them.”

“A real failure does not need an excuse. It is an end in itself.”

“You judge the mistakes of others with indignation and distain in a demeaning manner; your mistakes, are littered with rationalizations and excuses, with indignation for those aware. And void of regrets.”

“The day is ending. It's time for something that was beautiful to turn into something else that is beautiful. Now, Let go.”

“In soft deluding lies let fools delight.
A shadow marks our days, which end in Night.”

“Better ten days of love than years of regretting.”
