Does anyone know the origin of this quote (or equiv)?
"When you look back on your life, you'll regret the
things you didn't do more than the ones you did."
It must be much older than H. Jackson Brown, Jr.'s
book "Life's Little Instruction Book" 1991.
Is it a variant of Tennyson?
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all. - from In Memoriam
