Character... is a habit the daily choice of right over wrong it is a moral quality which grows to maturity in peace and is not suddenly developed on the outbreak of war.
Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.
It seems that American patriotism measures itself against an outcast group. The right Americans are the right Americans because they're not like the wrong Americans who are not really Americans.
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or who says it.
The greater the state the more wrong and cruel its patriotism and the greater is the sum of suffering upon which its power is founded.
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who says it.
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
If you can't be in awe of Mother Nature there's something wrong with you.
It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.
The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.
If you pour some music on whatever's wrong it'll sure help out.
I haven't heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I'm listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music.
I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet but something's going wrong.
If the king loves music there is little wrong in the land.
Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.
The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.
I remember we woke up one morning at Denny's house and John Phillips called. He said you guys okay? We said yeah what's wrong what's going on? He said well everybody's dead over at Sharon's house at Terry Melcher's place.
Another very strong image from the first day was giving my initial press conference in the morning - going down and finding out that everything I had said the essence of what I had said was wrong.
'Not again!' I thought to myself this morning as news trickled out that John McCain was set to pick Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Not again because too often women are promoted for the wrong reasons and then blamed when things don't go right.
It was a splendid summer morning and it seemed as if nothing could go wrong.
I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them they must be doing everything right.
I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It's just a weakness that we human beings have for control - we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more.
Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
It's morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money.
I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources to move into the future.
