Guilty Quotes - Page 12

• Guilt is also a way for us to express to others that we are a person of good conscience.

When people say to me, 'I drank too much last night,' I always reply, 'I drank exactly the right amount.

• I mean not to accuse any one, but to take the shame upon myself, in common, indeed, with the whole parliament of Great Britain, for having suffered this horrid trade to be carried on under their authority.

Have you decided to kill me? And I am your only treasure. Killing me? You will be destroyed. Killing me is destroying yourself."

  If he lives with tolerance... he learns confidence.
  If he lives with praise... he learns to appreciate.
  If he lives with fairness... he learns about justice

• make it a practice to avoid hating anyone. If someone's been guilty of despicable actions, especially toward me, I try to forget him. I used to follow a practice - somewhat contrived, I admit - to write the man's name on a piece of scrap paper, drop it into the lowest drawer of my desk, and say to myself: "That finishes the incident, and so far as I'm concerned, that fellow." The drawer became over the years a sort of private wastebasket for crumbled-up spite and discarded personalities.
