Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. ~Henry Ford

 

[Rocky]

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Here is another that is so on the mark and a way to look at the not so good things you have done in your life.

"The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on. Nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it." Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

I suppose a less elegant and more contemporary way to put this would be, "Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, there is no putting it back in."
