Do not regret what you have done

我事に於て後悔せず (ware koto ni oite koukai sezu)

The Japanese saying 我事に於て後悔せず meaning "Do not regret what you have done" is one of the 21 precepts that Miyamoto Musashi wrote just before his death. This reminds us that we cannot change what we have done, we can only change what we do or what we will do. For more information see Miyamoto Musashi - Dokkoudou.

我事に於て後悔せず is composed of the kanji 我 (read ware) meaning "oneself", 事 (read koto) meaning "thing; matter", に於いて (read nioite) meaning "regarding; as for", 後悔 (read koukai) meaning "regret" and せず (read sezu) meaning "without; do not."
