Quotations regarding 'Wrong'

Choose a letter: 
And I just think that we're at a point in our economic life here in our state - and - and, candidly, across the country, where increased taxes is just the wrong way to go. The people of our state are not convinced that state government, county government, local government has done all they can with the money we already give them, rather than the money that we have before.
Chris Christie, American Politician (1962-  )
No one can harm the man who does himself no wrong.
John Chrysostom, Clergyman
I'm communicating with the directors of the Soviet companies, and I see that it is wrong, but when I go to the official discussions, they discuss we should change the color of the walls.
Anatoly Chubais, Russian Politician (1955-  )
The best things carried to excess are wrong.
Charles Churchill, English Poet
Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

These are the days for strong men to courageously expose wrong.
Powell Clayton, American Politician (1833-1914)
There is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice and the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which are shielded and defended a people's safety and greatness.
Eldridge Cleaver, American Activist (1935-1998)
The danger to society is not merely that it should believe wrong things, though that is great enough; but that it should become credulous, and lose the habit of testing things and inquiring into them; for then it must sink back into savagery.
William Kingdon Clifford, English Mathematician (1845-1879)
To sum up: it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.
William Kingdon Clifford, English Mathematician (1845-1879)
When an action is once done, it is right or wrong for ever; no accidental failure of its good or evil fruits can possibly alter that.
William Kingdon Clifford, English Mathematician (1845-1879)
If I steal money from any person, there may be no harm done from the mere transfer of possession; he may not feel the loss, or it may prevent him from using the money badly. But I cannot help doing this great wrong towards Man, that I make myself dishonest.
William Kingdon Clifford, English Mathematician (1845-1879)
It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.
William Kingdon Clifford, English Mathematician (1845-1879)
The only line that's wrong in Shakespeare is 'holding a mirror up to nature.' You hold a magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with the situation. If it were a mirror, we would have no art.
Montgomery Clift, American Actor (1920-1966)
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.
William J. Clinton, American President (1946-  )
I believe I'm a better authority than anybody else in America on my own wife. I have never known a person with a stronger sense of right and wrong in my life ever.
William J. Clinton, American President (1946-  )
The hardest thing is trying not to correct everything on the Internet. It'd be night and day - wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. So you just have to say, 'All right, I'll take it, bring it on.'
George Clooney, Actor (1961-  )
