George W. Bush Quotes

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent and the choices you make will shape your life forever.

The world doesn’t need more people playing small. It’s time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. It’s time to stop needing and start leading.

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.

I had grand visions of being in professional sports. But when reality set in, I went, 'Oh, OK. I'll just move to Hollywood and be an actor.' I didn't want to look back on my life and wonder, 'What if I had done this? Or I had done that?'

Think new thoughts. Grab life with both hands, take opportunities you have, & create the ones you need.

Opportunity knocks only once. You never know if you'll get another opportunity.

Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them.

I feel more like I'm a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.

I don't have any regrets. When I quit college and moved to Los Angeles to become an actress, it was so that I would not look back and have any regrets.
