What a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I’d realized it sooner.

Colette
About This Quote

The late author and humorist, Erma Bombeck, once said, “What a wonderful life! I only wish I’d realized it sooner.” If you had one more chance to do something differently, would you? Would you change the way you talk, walk, think, or dress? Most of us have regrets when we look back on our lives. We wish we had been less lazy or more open-minded. We wish we had been more patient or less selfish. We wish we had done things better or not at all.
