“The way to experience ultimate happiness is to let go of all worries and regrets, and to know that being happy is the most satisfying of life's feelings. Reflect back on all the progress in your life and allow the positive, creative and joyous thoughts to outshine and overwhelm any sorrow or grief that may linger in the recesses of your mind. Knowing that disease and disaster are natural parts of life is the key to overcoming adversity with a calm and happy spirit. Happiness is waiting there in front of you. Only you can decide whether or not you choose to experience it. Take this to heart.” KnowsWayLifeInspirationalMindHeartMayFeelingsHappinessLife IsSpiritWaitingNaturalGriefCreativityWorryCreativeKnowingProgressFrontsPositiveRegretKeysSorrowLetting GoDiseaseExperienceUltimateOvercomingAdversityCalmDisasterSatisfyingYou ChooseBeing HappyJoyousOvercoming AdversityParts Of LifeRecessHappy SpiritUltimate Happiness Author:Toshitsugu Takamatsu

“... the job [at the Manhattan Institute] gives me a platform where I can focus on the themes that I explored in both Gusher of Lies and Power Hungry: that the myths about "green" energy are largely just that, myths; that hydrocarbons are here to stay; and that if we are going to pursue the best "no regrets" policy with regard to energy, then we should be avidly promoting natural gas and nuclear energy.” IfsGivingShouldI CanJobsLyingEnergyNaturalFocusPolicyRegretGive MeRegardGreenMythNuclearHungryPursueThemeGasPlatformsPromotingManhattanNo RegretsInstituteNatural GasNuclear EnergyGreen EnergyPower HungryHydrocarbons Author:Robert Bryce
“After Hurricane Katrina, many people said that the levees were not as effective as the natural vegetation that had been removed at the coast. So that means as we develop these seaside land masses, we need to have enough knowledge to not regret in the future. We know that the US government is literally buying these lands back to allow them to be rehabilitated.” PeopleKnowsNeedsMeanSaidEnoughGovernmentNaturalLandRegretMassBuyingCoastHurricanesKatrinaVegetationHurricane KatrinaLevees Author:Wangari Maathai
“I had hundreds of books under my skin already. Not selected reading, all of it. Some of it could be called trashy. I had been through Nick Carter, Horatio Alger, Bertha M. Clay and the whole slew of dime novelists in addition to some really constructive reading. I do not regret the trash. It has harmed me in no way. It was a help, because acquiring the reading habit early is the important thing.

“I looked at it [revolver] as if it reminded me of a crime I had committed with an irrepressible smile such as rises sometimes to people’s lips in the face of great catastrophes which are beyond their grasp, the smile that comes at times on certain women’s faces while they are saying they regret the harm they have done. It is the smile of nature quietly and proudly asserting its natural right to kill.” PeopleIfsSometimesDoneFacesCertainNaturalCrimeRegretLipsCommittedHarmCatastropheRevolverIrrepressible Author:Anais Nin
“Democratic communities have a natural taste for freedom: left to themselves they will seek it, cherish it, and view any deprivation of it with regret.

“Why does man regret, even though he may endeavour to banish any such regret, that he has followed the one natural impulse, rather than the other; and why does he further feel that he ought to regret his conduct?

“Almost all men are over anxious. No sooner do they enter the world than they lose that taste for natural and simple pleasures so remarkable in early life. Every hour do they ask themselves what progress they have made in the pursuit of wealth or honor and on they go as their fathers went before them till weary and sick at heart they look back with a sigh of regret to the golden time of their childhood.” MenWorldLooksHeartMadeAsksFatherHoursLosesNaturalWealthSimplePleasureProgressChildhoodRegretHonorTasteSickPursuitGoldenRemarkableAnxiousWearySighSimple PleasuresEarly LifePursuit Of Wealth Book:Italy, a Poem Source: Italy, a Poem
