mmsalmon1987 Posted September 2, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I need to find the qoute from Mark Twaine about; regretting more the things not done than the things that have been done. I've seen it a hundred times on this site, and now when I need it, I keep searching and can't find it. Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiles3usa Posted September 2, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2005 ...and I have a plaque on my desk of the quote (I think this is the one to which you refer): "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffie Posted September 2, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I found the quote a few years ago here on CC. I have used it in my signature because it speaks volumes. This summer my younger sister died from brain cancer that took her very quickly. I am so glad for all that I did with her and have no regrets. I hope to always live my life this way.

awm Posted September 2, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Certainly not Mark Twain but years ago my Dad wrote me a card where he wrote; "May the sails of your vessel Catch the wind of life smoothly, Guiding you courageously To its port" I never forgot it.
