Every time I think I know what’s right and wrong, I end up being wrong. All I want to do is explore. I want to see what people would do. I say, ‘What would this person do in this situation?’ and I write it down. I’m not writing manifestos of my political views.
314
Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong?
315
316
317
318
If I say, ‘I forgive you,’ I have implicitly said you have done something wrong to me. But what forgiveness is at its heart is both saying that justice has been violated and not letting that violation count against the offender.
319
320
What’s right is what’s left if you do everything else wrong.
321
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
322
So much has been written about me, and people don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong. I’d rather let them stay confused.
323
In my view – which could be wrong, but it is my field – there is no better formula for social instability than to divide a society between two ascribed characteristics that are seen as opposite.
324
War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
325
From the first day I left Chelsea, it was always in my mind to make them wrong. I made them wrong.
326
327
Everyone knows what it’s like to make the wrong decision for the right reasons. For me, wrong decisions are the heart of drama – a character who’s always making the right decisions is boring.
328
329
I know places you better speak low if you’ve been to college. Men will come across the room and cold-deck you if you hold your glass wrong.
330
If a person doesn’t change, there’s something really wrong with him.
331
Wrong fails because it is wrong. The wrongs, the untruths, are inconsistent with each other. They clash against each other and confute each other. They neutralize each other and are lost.
332
For me, romance isn’t an over-the-top act. It’s someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I’m making the wrong decision, he’ll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.
333
The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.
334
335
I am so anxious for you not to abdicate and I think the fact that you do is going to put me in the wrong light to the entire world because they will say that I could have prevented it.
336
The rules are all in a sixty-four-page pamphlet by Aristotle called ‘Poetics.’ It was written almost three thousand years ago, but I promise you, if something is wrong with what you’re writing, you’ve probably broken one of Aristotle’s rules.
337
I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world. If they are right, truth and experience will support them; if wrong, they ought to be refuted and rejected. Disputes are apt to sour one’s temper and disturb one’s quiet.
338
It’s not uncool to worry about people who seem like they’re going on the wrong path. There’s nothing cool about being self-destructive.
339
I like being a pin-up girl. There’s nothing wrong with it.
340
341
I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don’t worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be.
342
To be one’s self, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity.
343
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.
344
There’s an obligation to not lead people down the wrong path, but I hardly think me wearing short shorts on stage is creating monsters.
345
It is from the traditional family that we absorb those universal ideals and principles which are the teaching of Jesus, the bedrock of our religious faith. We are taught the difference between right and wrong, and about the law, just punishment and discipline.
346
347
Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.
348
349
350
I love being challenged and defending my positions and, when I’m wrong, learning from the exchange. It makes me smarter and better as a businessperson.
351
I don’t believe war is a way to solve problems. I think it’s wrong. I don’t have respect for the people that made the decisions to go on with war. I don’t have that much respect for Bush. He’s about war, I’m not about war – a lot of people aren’t about war.
352
Where we’re not wrong or where the cost of settling is so much that it is totally disproportionate to the harm or the error that we made, we’re not going to settle.
353
People never think of entertainers as being human. When you walk out on stage, the audience think, ‘Nothing can go wrong with them.’ We get sick and we have headaches just like they do. When we are cut, we bleed.
354
On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process.
355
History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.
356
She’s the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.
357
358
If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?
359
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.
360
If I have a stupid day, everything looks wrong to me.
361
You could have everything right but be in the wrong place. You think your business is no good, but really, the problem is your place is no good.
362
I think you’re a product of your influences, your environment. You see guys with so much talent, but they got the wrong people around them telling them the wrong things. They wind up going down the wrong path.
363
364
What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong.
365
I’m an honorable human being. I know what to do and what not to do, and if I’m wrong, I always apologize. I’m a big enough man to do that.
366
Even when I think I’m wrong I’m right. I am all-knowing.
367
If you’re a reporter, the easiest thing in the world is to get a story. The hardest thing is to verify. The old sins were about getting something wrong, that was a cardinal sin. The new sin is to be boring.
368
369
I think everybody is always selling me short, and then I always prove them wrong.
370
371
There is nothing wrong with good accounting, except that it does not necessarily lead to good science.
372
Paradigms are like glasses. When you have incomplete paradigms about yourself or life in general, it’s like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription. That lens affects how you see everything else.
373
Meat eaters don’t like me because I call for moderation, and vegetarians don’t like me because I say there’s nothing wrong with eating meat. It’s part of our evolutionary heritage! Meat has helped to make us what we are. Meat helps to make our big brains.
374
Often any decision, even the wrong decision, is better than no decision.
375
Education is the key to the future: You’ve heard it a million times, and it’s not wrong. Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates, and better-educated countries grow faster and innovate more than other countries. But going to college is not enough. You also have to study the right subjects.
376
377
As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.
378
379
380
381
382
383
Withdrawing support from globalization is taking us in the wrong direction.
384
Whenever there are great virtues, it’s a sure sign something’s wrong.
385
I don’t think that the rich should be attacked. There’s nothing wrong in being rich.
386
I’m confident in who I am, and I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just being myself: being comfortable with my body, comfortable with my sound, and I’m figuring out who I am.
387
388
If things are going wrong in a country, it’s not usually that we don’t have enough foreigners. It’s usually that we have too many.
389
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.
390
Be comfortable; be you. What’s most important is to understand what suits your body type and personality. Stick to that, and you can’t go wrong!
391
There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them.
392
I did a little soul searching to explore where I had gone wrong, why I made the decisions I did, how my definitions of success and ambition were off. I love a great new pair of shoes – I love to look at my bank account and see zeroes – but what is it attached to?
393
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
394
I’ve got no problem with anybody’s religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that’s just wrong.
395
When you make mistakes, when you’re wrong, you should admit you’re wrong and ask people to forgive you.
396
397
If someone is always to blame, if every time something goes wrong someone has to be punished, people quickly stop taking risks. Without risks, there can’t be breakthroughs.
398
Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.
399
Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
400
401
The minority is sometimes right; the majority always wrong.
402
Saying ‘I’m wrong’ is meaningless unless it comes from our heart, not just our lips. That often requires a genuine and profound change within ourselves, because we need to realize it’s simply human nature and that everyone makes mistakes.
403
I may be wrong, but I am never in doubt! And anyone who has been around me for even a minute understands that my self-confidence and self-esteem is sometimes overwhelming!
404
I want to do what I feel in my soul. My soul won’t lead me wrong.
405
You can’t satisfy everybody. If you do, you’re probably doing something wrong.
406
There is nothing politically right that is morally wrong.
407
408
If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
409
We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
410
411
412
No. I am not a royalist. Not at all. I am definitely a republican in the British sense of the word. I just don’t see the use of the monarchy though I’m fierce patriot. I’m proud proud proud of being English, but I think the monarchy symbolizes a lot of what was wrong with the country.
413
414
The most difficult problem in conducting is intonation. You must know what is wrong and how to correct it.
415
I get angry if I do things wrong, but that’s what keeps me going. I want to do my best.
416
If you’re going to do something wrong, do it big, because the punishment is the same either way.
417
You lose some, you win some. Nothing wrong with that at all.
418
If I have to go around telling everyone how great I am, then there’s something wrong with my act.
419
When a man is wrong and won’t admit it, he always gets angry.
420
421
What is wrong with changing your mind because the facts changed? But you have to be able to say why you changed your mind and how the facts changed.
422
It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right and wrong.
423
History repeats itself, and that’s one of the things that’s wrong with history.
424
Every time I win a tournament I have to think that there is something wrong with modern chess.
425
There are two sides to every question: my side and the wrong side.
426
I walked into the wrong examination room. I’m bad enough at facial recognition… I saw more that day than I cared to. Fortunately, I didn’t recognize her from that angle, whoever it was, and I didn’t ask. I’m off to a rocky start on the road to fatherhood, but I got a free view.
427
428
The man of science is nothing if not a poet gone wrong.
429
If women be educated for dependence; that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop?
430
431
432
433
Every time you make the hard, correct decision you become a bit more courageous, and every time you make the easy, wrong decision you become a bit more cowardly. If you are CEO, these choices will lead to a courageous or cowardly company.
434
When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven’t developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urges that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habit and don’t know how to eliminate them effectively.
435
There is nothing wrong with having nice things, but when you are trying to buy nice things to be happy, you are going to hurt. It’s not going to work.
436
437
I may be crazy, but that don’t make me wrong.
438
439
440
If you put 100 people on an island with no food, no water, no hope of a ship coming, then some will overcome it and be resourceful, some will live in it, others will panic, and others will show horrific character, which is wrong. But not to understand that all alternatives are possible is wrong as well.
441
442
When holiness is achieved by conforming to God’s will, one knows intuitively that which is wrong and that which is right before the Lord. Holiness speaks when there is silence, encouraging that which is good or reproving that which is wrong.
443
444
It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.
445
446
447
448
Singularity shows something wrong in the mind.
449
The paradigm of competition is a race: by rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone to run faster. When capitalism really works this way, it does a good job; but its defenders are wrong in assuming it always works this way.
450
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I’m right.
451
Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.
452
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
453
If you don’t sell, it’s not the product that’s wrong, it’s you.
454
455
I hate being looked at. Can’t stand it. I know, I know – I picked the wrong career. I should have been a doctor. If you play certain parts you have this nice face painted on you, and then you have feel as if you have a responsibility to this idea of being beautiful. I hate that about our business.
456
It’s all emotion. But there’s nothing wrong with emotion. When we are in love, we are not rational; we are emotional. When we are on vacation, we are not rational; we are emotional.
457
458
459
I grew up in a very nice house in Houston, went to private school all my life and I’ve never even been to the ‘hood. Not that there’s anything wrong with the ‘hood.
460
Anyone who says you can’t do anything with short hair is wrong! Every day, my style turns into something new, and there are so many different ways you can wear it.
461
Upon the subjects of which I have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only sometimes to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them.
462
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
463
Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it’s unbelievable!
464
465
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.
466
Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is good company along the way.
467
468
There’s something you do when you’re completely confident that just can’t be replicated when you know you’re doing something wrong.
469
I think as you get older, you realize there’s always going to be critics. Critics are going to win every time because they can change their critique based on the stats and their own personal feelings. It’s less about proving people wrong, the critics wrong, and it’s more about challenging myself to keep this level up.
470
Weak minds exaggerate too much the wrong done to the Africans.
471
Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.
472
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
473
474
475
Do all children have some inherent right to live in America if they have done nothing wrong? If not, then why should the children of illegal immigrants have such a right?
476
The Bush Administration‘s failure to be consistently involved in helping Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians has been both wrong for our friendship with Israel, as well as badly damaging to our standing in the Arab world.
477
478
I see that the path of progress has never taken a straight line, but has always been a zigzag course amid the conflicting forces of right and wrong, truth and error, justice and injustice, cruelty and mercy.
479
We made too many wrong mistakes.
480
481
It is wrong to divide the nation white against black, native born against immigrant or one religion against another. It is also wrong to divide people by income. East Germany was not an improvement over South Africa. Obama divides Americans against each other. This is wrong.
482
I’m confident that the wrong cinematographer on a project can very much derail the mood and the feeling on set when you’re trying to create a bubble of trust, effectively.
483
Early in life I learned, just through observation, that right always wins out over wrong. If a person has good intentions in his heart and wants to do the right thing, then there are certain ways that any obstacle can be overcome.
484
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
485
486
The killing of innocent people is always wrong.
487
488
If you have always done it that way, it is probably wrong.
489
490
I didn’t fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.
491
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
492
The passive aggressive arguer comes armed with tricky tactics. They cannot take the risk that they might be wrong: their self-esteem is too intertwined with their opinions. It is more important to affirm their rightness, and sense of superiority, than to arrive at the truth.
493
Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.
494
Peer pressure is something everyone will face in school. You have to really go by what you think is the right thing to do. Turn to the friends you trust the most when you are put in a compromising situation. If your friends are making the wrong decision, then turn to your parents.
495
I don’t feel like millions of people are wrong because they love who they love or they were born how they were born.
496
497
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who’ll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you’re in the wrong house, that’s what it means.
498
But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.
499
You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what’s wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever‘s in them rises to the surface in free play.
500
This is the greatest country under the sun. But we must not let our love of country, our patriotic loyalty, cause us to abate one whit in our protest against wrong and injustice.
501
A positive attitude is a choice, like walking to the other side of a street to avoid trouble or making a 180-degree turn when you feel you’re heading in the wrong direction.
502
503
504
Whenever there is fear, you will get wrong figures.
505
Kids don’t care what you did wrong – they’re just up every day living, forgiving, loving, having fun.
506
507
There is no harm in being sometimes wrong – especially if one is promptly found out.
508
509
If you look at the movie ‘Belly,’ I identify with Sincere the most. I am a gangster. I love my lady to death. I’m not in the game for the wrong reasons. I’m not in the game for the glory. I’m in the game to survive so the people that I love could be straight. I’m a highly intelligent individual.
510
If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn’t need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
511
512
513
Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong.
514
515
I don’t believe in outing people. It’s up to the individual, but there’s nothing wrong putting the pressure on.
516
517
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn’t isolated, something is wrong.
518
Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done.
519
520
Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.
521
I am very indecisive. I’m always afraid of making the wrong decision.
522
I don’t believe there’s two sides to every story. It’s black and white. There’s right and wrong.
523
524
It could be – and it has been argued, in my view rather plausibly, though neuroscientists don’t like it – that neuroscience for the last couple hundred years has been on the wrong track.
525
526
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
527
You will often be in despair. You will sometimes think it’s the worst decision in your life. That’s fine. That’s not a sign your marriage has gone wrong. It’s a sign that it’s normal; it’s on track. And many of the hopes that took you into the marriage will have to die in order for the marriage to continue.
528
I am a simple person, I try to do my best on the pitch and do nothing wrong both on and off the pitch.
529
I don’t like jail, they got the wrong kind of bars in there.
530
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
531
532
You can’t go wrong with relatively simple comfort food. It’s also about ease. Some cook to impress. I cook for people to enjoy the food.
533
I’d rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right.
534
I think that slavery is wrong, morally, socially and politically. I desire that it should be no further spread in these United States, and I should not object if it should gradually terminate in the whole Union.
535
The fact disclosed by a survey of the past that majorities have been wrong must not blind us to the complementary fact that majorities have usually not been entirely wrong.
536
Life is hard, and a lot of people come home tired from work. If they’re gonna spend half an hour reading, they want some entertainment and a sense of achievement. So that’s what I give them. That’s all I’m trying to do. Is that really so wrong?
537
538
There’s no wrong way to experience a film.
539
There’s nothing wrong with being proud of who you are. It’s a wonderful thing.
540
Fear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive. That is a dualistic way of seeing.
541
542
543
All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true, how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances, such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
544
545
546
There’s nothing wrong with being a cop. There’s nothing wrong with being a white person. It’s about where your heart is… We’ve got to get everyone beyond the xenophobic isolationism.
547
There is some risk that if the wrong regulatory regime gets adopted in the U.S., then the center of innovation could move to other countries. If blockchains are the next Internet, that would be a very unfortunate development for the U.S.
548
I’ve always been a fighter. If you tell me I can’t, I’ll die trying to prove you wrong.
549
550
I believe in the Prince of Peace. I believe that War is Murder. I believe that armies and navies are at bottom the tinsel and braggadocio of oppression and wrong, and I believe that the wicked conquest of weaker and darker nations by nations whiter and stronger but foreshadows the death of that strength.
551
552
Abortion is clearly wrong.
553
Take any person, put them in the wrong environment, and they can get off to some pretty bad things. Warren Buffett has said that he would not like to get into debt because he doesn’t want to discover what behavior he’s capable of.
554
555
In the past, people used to tell me to shut up a bit. But what I believe is to put out your opinion and let everyone else react. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.
556
557
We were for Mao, but when we saw the films he was making, they were bad. So we understood that there was necessarily something wrong with what he was saying.
558
Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.
559
560
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
561
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
562
563
When people start thinking of you more as a persona, they are less inclined to allow you to move into different areas. Sometimes they’re wrong. Sometimes they’re just very stereotypical or restricted in their own thinking of what they’ll allow you to do.
564
565
566
Opera happens because a large number of things amazingly fail to go wrong.
567
Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.
568
Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.
569
I’m a nationalist. I’m a patriot. Nothing is wrong. I’m a born Hindu. Nothing is wrong. So, I’m a Hindu nationalist, so yes, you can say I’m a Hindu nationalist because I am a born Hindu, I’m patriotic, so nothing is wrong in it.
570
571
Wrongful convictions happen every week in every state in this country. And they happen for all the same reasons. Sloppy police work. Eyewitness identification is the most – is the worst type almost. Because it’s wrong about half the time. Think about that.
572
573
574
I have so much chaos in my life, it’s become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they’re wrong.
575
Admitting that we ourselves are bar mitzvah boys is our way of letting non-Jews as well as Jews in the audience know that everything we’re doing is meant in good fun; we’re having fun with our background and don’t want to be taken in the wrong way.
576
