A puritan is a person who pours righteous indignation into the wrong things.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The idea of God is the sole wrong for which I cannot forgive mankind.
Marquis de Sade
The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
Andy Rooney
I'm in a position of feeling secure enough so that I can say what I think is right and if so many people think it's wrong that I get fired, well, I've got enough to eat.
Andy Rooney
The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Virginia Woolf
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it, they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It was extremely important to show that Wilde's sexuality was not just some intellectual idea. It was real, and it was about the human body. To just have mentioned it and not shown it would have been, I think, peculiar and wrong.
Stephen Fry
Whenever there is fear, you will get wrong figures.
W. Edwards Deming
It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.
Aldous Huxley
Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.
Thomas Kempis
Every judgement of conscience, be it right or wrong, be it about things evil in themselves or morally indifferent, is obligatory, in such wise that he who acts against his conscience always sins.
Thomas Aquinas
Apology is only egotism wrong side out.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
There's nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn't abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.
H. G. Wells
I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
Tiger Woods
Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
Tiger Woods
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'
Charles M. Schulz
Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain.
John Stuart Mill
