Shame

A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying... that he is wiser today than yesterday.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Certainly it is no shame to a man that he should be as nice about his country as his sweetheart,- yet it would not be wise to hold everyone an enemy who could not see her with our own enchanted eyes

James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)

Fred Woodworth

Money was made, not to command our will, But all our lawful pleasures to fulfill. Shame and woe to us, if we our wealth obey; The horse doth with the horseman away.

Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)

Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others; And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status.

Lao-Tse (604 BC-531 BC)

Shame is pride's cloak.

William Blake (1757-1827)

Shameless craving must have shameful nay

Fred Woodworth

Sin hath the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages

Thomas J. Watson, Sr. (1874-1956)

The extremes of glory and of shame, Like east and west, become the same No Indian prince has to his palace - More followers than a thief to the gallows

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

The guilty catch themselves

Proverb

The only shame is to have none

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents
