“Things are what they are and there's no point dwelling in the past or wondering what could have been.”
“It was not his habit to dwell on what might have been but what could never be.”
“It's just the way things are. And you can't dwell on what might have been. You have to look at what is.”
“There wasn't any point in dwelling in the pain of the past, not when the future could hold suck pleasure.”
“There is no point in thinking of what could've been; no point in belaboring the past.”
“To me, there's no point in talking about things that might have been.”
