Dan Quayle Quotes

We can't get our youth back.

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

The words walked right out of my mouth.

In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.

Words are like eggs dropped from great heights; you can no more call them back than ignore the mess they leave when they fall.

The words can not return.

I wish I could turn back time, but I can't. I made a stupid decision because I thought I was invincible, and I'll pay for it the rest of my life.

I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth.

Time lost, as men may see, For nothing may recovered be.

Moments, when lost, can't be found again. They're just gone.

Hell itself is truth known too late

The wood was better before I cut it, than after. I did not improve it in any way.

Did I throw the most important thing perhaps, by accident, away?

Once sent out, a word takes wings beyond recall.

There's mistakes that I have made. Some chances I just threw away. Some roads I never should've taken. Been some signs I didn't see. Hearts that I hurt needlessly. Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend, but it don't make no difference: The past can't be rewritten. You get the life you're given.

Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that's the end of you.

What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again

Words spoken cannot be recalled, and many a man and many a woman who has spoken a word at once regretted, are far too proud to express that regret.

I could hear hopefulness in her voice, but also doubt. She was waiting for me to admit the obvious: I’d forgotten. I was toast. I was boyfriend roadkill.

As though prayer could simply pluck sin out. But any woman knows that a thread, once woven, is fixed in place; the only way to smooth a mistake is to let it all unravel.

You can’t undo something that’s happened; you can’t take back a word that’s already been said out loud.

You can never say never. I'm not sure if I even want to. I just don't know. Some of it is just not able to be reached, you can't remember some of it and the people that could help you remember have passed away. It might have to remain a remain.

In the beginning was the word, and it was spoken.

I am interested in the past. Perhaps one of the reasons is we cannot make, cannot change the past. I mean you can hardly unmake the present. But the past after all is merely to say a memory, a dream. You know my own past seems continually changed when I am remembering it, or reading things that are interesting to me.
