This reminded me of Slaughterhouse five, by Kurt Vonnegut. Aw now I feel like rereading it.

It was actually Reinhold Niebuhr that wrote that.  He did not found AA, he was just a theologian who wrote it for a sermon.  It was adopted by AA 9 years after it was written.

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword”
― Oscar Wilde, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol

This quote has always resonated with me.

Also:

“We need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.
