Roger Moore Quotes

I really do feel guilty that I don't visit me mum enough.

If I could go back in time, I'd return to when my parents were alive and appreciate them more than I did when I was growing up.

This is a moment that I deeply wish my parents could have lived to share. My father would have enjoyed what you have so generously said of me-and my mother would have believed it.

If I could do one thing over I'd have been nicer to my parents.

You have five seconds to enjoy it and then you remember who you didn't thank.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.

When a friend is carried to his grave, we at once find excuses for every weakness, and palliation of every fault. We recollect a thousand endearments, which before glided off our minds without impression, a thousand favors unrepaid, a thousand duties unperformed; and wish, vainly wish, for his return, not so much that we may receive as that we may bestow happiness, and recompense that kindness which before we never understood.

If there's anything you want to ask your parents, ask them before they go, because once they go, they're gone.

It's true what they say: 'You don't appreciate what you've got until it's gone.' I miss love. I miss being looked after.

I regret not taking my 83-year-old mother to the Oscars the year I won. She deserved the Oscar for giving up so much for me.

That is the one missing link in my life. I wish I had spent more time with my children.

You don't really appreciate how much you are going to miss your parents. I keep thinking of all the times I should have made the effort to go up and see them but didn't.

When you find yourself talking about less and less and forgetting the love that you bring, never forget there are things you can replace but others you can not.

you dont know what you got till its gone

Today's minor irritations may become tomorrow's treasured memories. We often don't know what we are missing, until it's missing.

One Christmas at the very beginning of your twenties when your mother gives you a warm coat that she saved for months to buy, don’t look at her skeptically after she tells you she thought the coat was perfect for you. Don’t hold it up and say it’s longer than you like your coats to be and too puffy and possibly even too warm. Your mother will be dead by spring. That coat will be the last gift she gave you. You will regret the small thing you didn’t say for the rest of your life. Say thank you.

What occurred to me on [‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’], and also with the passing of her mother, is that there's going to come a time when I'm not going to get to be with this person anymore. I'm not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now. I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love.

I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.

I have one regret: I wish I was a better father.

I think about my mother every day. But usually the thoughts are fleeting - she crosses my mind like a spring cardinal that flies past the edge of your eye: startling, luminous, lovely... gone.

I took it all for granted, I'm sorry to say.

I think what happens when there's a scandal in your life, the things you depended on are taken away from you, and so you value what you have. I had two very nice little boys, so sweet, and a very good husband.
