Everybody now admits that apartheid was wrong, and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political, I can't do anything about that.
The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.
There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current one, that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.
Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done.
The wrong things are predominantly stressed in the schools - things remote from the student's experience and need.
Nothing is wrong with California that a rise in the ocean level wouldn't cure.
Each wrong act brings with it its own anesthetic, dulling the conscience and blinding it against further light, and sometimes for years.
You have to feel more involved than just writing out a cheque. Charity is almost the wrong word - I think people are beginning to feel more responsible for the world.
What's wrong is that we are not participating to make this the type of government it needs to be.
Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.
You know, maybe I was just born in the wrong time, but I love all things romantic. Puffy understands that. For my last birthday, he covered my hotel room floor with rose petals and had flowers and candles all over the room.
It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.
I do everything all wrong, but I think for me that's the best, because I don't think I have a voice.
I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.
The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term. There is something wrong with saying we should start using renewables now, while they are still incredibly expensive.
