Quote by Sophocles

There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what

Summary

This quote means that there is no point in getting upset or regretting something that has already happened and cannot be changed. Crying or lamenting over past mistakes or unfortunate events is futile as it does not solve anything or alter the outcome. Instead, it is more productive to accept what has occurred, learn from it, and focus on moving forward.
