Charlie Munger Quotes

That's the thing about mistakes, you don't dwell on them.

We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.

I can't dwell on past mistakes.

I'm not too interested in talking about the past. It doesn't do us any good whatsoever.

I try not to look back on my life and be regretful.

Life is full of regrets, but it doesn't pay to look back.

I don't like looking back.

I don't much like looking back.

It's a wise man who understands that every day is a new beginning, because boy, how many mistakes do you make in a day? I don't know about you, but I make plenty. You can't turn the clock back, so you have to look ahead.

We all make mistakes but one has to move on.

I believe there were things I probably should have done differently. But I'm not going to spend a lot of time crying over spilt milk.

Certainly, there were tough times, but no, you can't go back and change it. So, why dwell on it?

The past is past. There is no point in repeating what you did in the past.

You can't look back.

If I could undo what's been done, But I guess everyone is living, With water and bridges.

Learning from our mistakes is critical for improving, but even I don't have patience for ranking my regrets. Regret is a negative emotion that inhibits the optimism required to take on new challenges. You risk living in an alternative universe, where if only you had done this or that differently, things would be better. That's a poor substitute for making your actual life better, or improving the lives of others. Regret briefly, analyze and understand, and then move on, improving the only life you have.

Don't use the past as an excuse to miss out on your future.

Regrets and Mistakes, they're Memories made

Keep in mind that people change, but the past doesn't.

Thinking of someone else is what got me damned. It’s a mistake I don’t want to repeat. (Xypher) You know sometimes it’s by repeating our mistakes that we realize what went wrong the first time. Knowing that, we’re able to fix the mistake and move past it. (Acheron)

The person who is to succeed will never let his mind dwell on past mistakes. He will forgive the past in his life and in the lives of other people. If he makes a mistake he will at once forgive it.

That's what courage is. Taking your disappointments and your failures, your guilt and your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted, and sinking them in the past. Starting again. Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your head held high. Times change. It's those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to suit, that prosper.

There is nothing you can do about the past except keep it there.

Don't let your past dictate your future.

It's not about being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been.
