I think I was righteous. I saw myself as the good guy in my own movie. I didn't get into many fights when I was younger, but when I did, they were righteous. I always thought I was defending something good. I fought for friends who couldn't fight for themselves. I was still being selfish and arrogant, but I was focused on what was fair and unfair.
Jo Nesbo
Image
History teaches us to beware of the excitation of the liberated and the injustices that often accompany their righteous thirst for justice.
Wole Soyinka
Image
I was a gangster when I was young. I had a Robin Hood mentality and tended to always want to support the weak against the strong, but sometimes it was cohesive and I really needed to fall in love with the power of education to find the right venue to express my rage. I still have a righteous indignation at injustice, no matter what form it takes.
Cornel West

Justice shines in very smoky homes, and honors the righteous but the gold-spangled mansions where the hands are unclean she leaves with eyes averted.
Aeschylus
Image
There is an illusion of central position, justifying one's own purposes as right and everybody else¹s as wrong, and providing a proper degree of paranoia. Righteous ends, thus approved, absolve of guilt the most violent means.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Image
A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.
Solomon
Image
Though the world is becoming more wicked, the youth of Christ's Church can become more righteous if they understand who they are, understand the blessings available, and understand the promises God has made to those who are righteous, who believe, who endure.
David B. Haight
Image
The sooner we can separate salvageable skeptics from self-righteous absolutists, the sooner we can move along.
Sheri S. Tepper
Image
Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offence which they have so fiercely censured.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
God in the form of the saint, God in the form of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the unrighteous.
Ramakrishna
Image
Righteous women in their circle of influence, beginning in the home, can turn the world around.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
An orgy looks particularly alluring seen through the mists of righteous indignation.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Image
I'm not a righteous man. People put me up on a pedestal that I don't belong in my personal life. And they think that I'm better than I am. I'm not the good man that people think I am. Newspapers and magazines and television have made me out to be a saint. I'm not. I'm not a Mother Teresa. And I feel that very much.
Billy Graham
Image
The pure righteous do not complain of the dark, but increase the light they do not complain of evil, but increase justice they do not complain of heresy, but increase faith they do not complain of ignorance, but increase wisdom.
Abraham Isaac Kook
Image
Brigham Young observed, Man's machinery makes things alike (JD 9:370), while God gives to seemingly like individuals pleasing differences. Secularism is no friend of righteous individuality.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Perseverance means to continue in a given course until we have reached a goal or objective, regardless of obstacles, opposition, and other counterinfluences...Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic...It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Image
If a man will be righteous and equal, let him see, with his neighbour's eyes, in his own case and with his own eyes, in his neighbour's case.
Benjamin Whichcote
Image
When the righteous rule, the people rejoice when the wicked rule, the people groan.
William Paterson
Image
We are accountable for our actions as we exercise our moral agency. If we understand this principle and make righteous choices, our lives will be blessed.
L. Lionel Kendrick
Image
To be justified means more than to be declared not guilty. It actually means to be declared righteous before God. It means God has imputed or charged the guilt of our sin to His Son, Jesus Christ, and has imputed or credited Christ's righteousness to us.
Jerry Bridges
Image
A lot of people say, well how can a loving God send anyone to hell? First of all God doesn't send anyone to hell. If we go to hell, it's by our own choice. But when somebody says to me, how can a loving God allow anyone to go to hell, I'll turn around and say, Well how can a holy, just, righteous God allow sin into His presence?
Josh McDowell
Image
..Advantage of the Bible is that it is profitable for training in righteous living.
Howard G. Hendricks
Image
I want to find a way of speaking to fellow human beings that will be cool rather than heated, philosophical rather than polemical, that will bring enlightenment rather than seeking to divide us into the righteous and the sinners, the saved and the damned, the sheep and the goats.
J. M. Coetzee
Image
Redemption is prior to righteousness. You cannot be righteous until you are first redeemed.
