A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Horace
Ah, tell me not that memory sheds gladness o'er the past, what is recalled by faded flowers, save that they did not last?
Letitia Landon
Bullets cannot be recalled. They cannot be uninvented. But they can be taken out of the gun.
Martin Amis
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
Pearl S. Buck
Genius is childhood recalled at will.
Charles Baudelaire

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.
Horace
There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?
Sophocles

Virgil
We have listened here to the delegates who have recalled the terrible human suffering, and the great material destruction of the late war in the Pacific. It is with feelings of sorrow that we recall the part played in that catastrophic human experience by the old Japan.

What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy's tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes.
