Quotations regarding 'Wrong'

Choose a letter: 
I'm not saying that the press is wrong to report any internal differences we have, but at the same time, I think it's our job to keep them from becoming public issues, for anything that detracts from the purely athletic aspects of the sport is bad for us.
Pete Rozelle, American Celebrity (1926-1996)
Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; it's a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation.
Charles Ruff, -
Your performance depends on your people. Select the best, train them and back them. When errors occur, give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong, help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House.
Donald Rumsfeld, American Politician (1932-  )
One of your tasks is to separate the 'personal' from the 'substantive.' The two can become confused, especially if someone rubs the President wrong.
Donald Rumsfeld, American Politician (1932-  )
This is what happens when you are on the wrong side of 40. Young adults, who could be your children, are now working with you. I was playing their parents or mentor. I started to think: Oh, I am not part of that group any more.
Geoffrey Rush, Australian Actor (1951-  )
I often thought I was in the wrong business. I was pretty seriously thinking of tossing it in before I shot Shine. I do not know why. I was pretty restless, I had been through a bad period of stress induced anxiety - panic attacks - and I was not sure of what I wanted to do.
Geoffrey Rush, Australian Actor (1951-  )
Faith is not contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gambler's bet.
Joanna Russ, American Writer (1937-  )
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?
Bertrand Russell, British Philosopher (1872-1970)
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.
Bertrand Russell, British Philosopher (1872-1970)
The closer you stay to emotional authenticity and people, character authenticity, the less you can go wrong. That's how I feel now, no matter what you're doing.
David O. Russell, American Director (1958-  )
We may fight against what is wrong, but if we allow ourselves to hate, that is to insure our spiritual defeat and our likeness to what we hate.
George William Russell, Irish Writer (1867-1935)
A lot of my characters in all of my books have a self-destructive urge. They'll do precisely the thing that they know is wrong, take a perverse delight in doing the wrong thing.
Richard Russo, American Novelist (1949-  )
That's an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don't want to have other people read about.
Winona Ryder, American Actress (1971-  )
The idea of God is the sole wrong for which I cannot forgive mankind.
Marquis de Sade, French Novelist (1740-1814)
I am not in this business as a calling. I don't do what I do to right any wrongs.
Morley Safer, Canadian Journalist (1931-  )
The nature of comedy is 'just do it.' But I think what's interesting about it is this joke has been around and why. And it's just saying what's wrong and how wrong can you be if you say it.
Bob Saget, American Actor (1956-  )
No man underestimates the wrongs he suffers; many take them more seriously than is right.
Sallust, Roman Historian
If the seams are showing, there is something wrong with the performance or the construction of the piece. This idea is completely at odds with our modern visual experience, because everything today is based on montage.
Esa-Pekka Salonen, Finnish Musician (1958-  )
I've always been a fighter. If you tell me I can't, I'll die trying to prove you wrong.
R. A. Salvatore, American Author (1959-  )
Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky - or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time.
Carl Sandburg, American Poet (1878-1967)
