Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs.
Charlotte Bronte
Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs.
Edward W. Howe
No man underestimates the wrongs he suffers; many take them more seriously than is right.
Sallust
Oh eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears; O life, no life, but lively form of death; Oh world, no world, but mass of public wrongs.
Thomas Kyd
On wrongs swift vengeance waits.
Alexander Pope
Politics are for foreigners with their endless wrongs and paltry rights. Politics are a lousy way to get things done. Politics are, like God's infinite mercy, a last resort.
P. J. O'Rourke
Suffer not thy wrongs to shroud thy fate, But turn, my soul, to blessings which remain.
Anna Seward
The belief in some being who can be the judge of all human matters is a very comfortable one - all wrongs will be righted and all rights will be rewarded.
Eli Khamarov

Thomas Aquinas
To the wrongs that need resistance, To the right that needs assistance, To the future in the distance, Give yourselves.
Carrie Chapman Catt
Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.
Thomas Szasz
We don't need lists of rights and wrongs, tables of do's and don'ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.
Philip Pullman
You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.
