As citizens, we must prevent wrongdoing because the world in which we all live, wrong-doer, wrong sufferer and spectator, is at stake.
Hannah Arendt
Image
True reconciliation is never cheap, for it is based on forgiveness which is costly. Forgiveness in turn depends on repentance, which has to be based on an acknowledgment of what was done wrong, and therefore on disclosure of the truth. You cannot forgive what you do not know.
Desmond Tutu
Image
Post-Watergate morality, by which anything left private is taken as presumptive evidence of wrongdoing.
Charles Krauthammer
Image
If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I have no doubt that aggressively going after wrongdoing can result in real improvement. Fewer wrongdoers in city government means more honest employees it means better city services it means more efficient government. And punishing wrongdoing can have a strong ripple effect that deters others from going down the wrong path.
David Hoffman
Image
Society punishes not the vices of its members, but their detection.
Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington
Image
A wrongdoing doesn't give us the right to do wrong.
Ruta Sepetys
Image
Invoke the Mercy of God and as milk returns not to the udder go not back to your wrongdoing. Have compassion on yourself and on others and Infinite Compassion will be given to you. In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, All Compassionate, bestow on me a Mercy that shall put me beyond the need of mercy from any other than Thee.
Muhammad
Image
People should be allowed to document evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Where is the expectation of privacy if someone is conspiring to commit crime?
Linda Tripp
Image
America washes its dirty linen in public. When scandals such as this one hit, they do sully America's image in the world. But what usually also gets broadcast around the world is the vivid reality that the United States forces accountability and punishes wrongdoing, even at the highest levels.
Fareed Zakaria
Image
On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.
J. C. Watts
Image
Believing the right things about Jesus isn't enough. You're not adopted as God's child until you confess and turn away from your wrongdoing and receive the freely offered gift of forgiveness and eternal life that Jesus purchased with his death on the cross. Until you do that, you'll always be on the outside looking in.
Lee Strobel
Image
Pity was meant to be a spur that drives joy to help misery. But it can be used the wrong way round. It can be used for a kind of blackmailing. Those who choose misery can hold joy up to ransom, by pity.
C. S. Lewis
Image
You don't have to tell people what they're doing wrong. They already know. Your job is to love them.
Joel Osteen
Image
Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?
Jane Austen
Image
When you're placed in a world where survival is the main focus, a lot of that other stuff, like wrongdoings in the past, become obsolete. You have to focus on the here and now. Yes, there is tension between the two of them.
Alycia Debnam Carey
Image
Above all Christians are not allowed to correct by violence sinful wrongdoings.
Clement of Alexandria
Image
It would be one thing if we could say the system works [in Illinois], and that individuals followed procedures and were found innocent, but in fact in all the cases it was really a fluke ... We find persistent wrongdoing on the part of law enforcement. It's really sheer luck that those convicted of these [capital] crimes were exonerated in the end.
Jan Schakowsky
Image
Until we see something that is actually wrongdoing, we're probably not going to go on a fishing trip to go see look at.
Jason Chaffetz
Image
Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
Image
For a good cause, wrongdoing is virtuous.
Publilius Syrus
Image
With trials, you become wiser. You learn more about yourself and the people surrounding you. Me personally, I've never been the type of person to judge anyone over wrongdoing, no matter what it is. I'm just not a judgmental person.
Adrian Peterson
Image
Why did the ancients praise the Way? Did they not say it was because you find what you seek and are saved from your wrongdoings?
Laozi
