It's a big shame, because 'Trixter' in my mind were what a real rock n' roll band is all about.
Steve Brown, American Musician
God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, English Poet (1806-1861)
Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, English Poet (1806-1861)
Whilst shame keeps its watch, virtue is not wholly extinguished in the heart; nor will moderation be utterly exiled from the minds of tyrants.
Edmund Burke, Irish Statesman (1729-1797)
I still felt we had some really good music on that record, but it's a shame that we couldn't make it better. And the tour was a total mess. We just had no life, no energy, and I felt we were going through the motions.
Matt Cameron, American Musician (1962-  )
I think we're at risk with our democracy. I think we're dealing with the most closed, imperialistic, nastiest administration in living memory. They even put Richard Nixon to shame.
Wesley Clark, American Soldier (1944-  )
That's the trouble with anything which essentially has a lot of bits that are physically impossible: You're left, stuck, in the studio. And that's a shame. You're making a movie. You don't want it to stay put, you want it to be a movie - to move.
Robbie Coltrane, Scottish Actor (1950-  )
My lady's presence makes the roses red, because to see her lips they blush for shame.
Henry Constable, English Poet
We are scheduled to meet this year fewer days than any Congress since at least 1948. And that is even before I was born. So far, we are in the 123rd day of this year, and yet we have only had 26 voting days in this body. That is a shame.
Jim Cooper, American Politician (1954-  )
The crime and not the scaffold makes the shame.
Pierre Corneille, French Dramatist (1606-1684)
Glory, built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt.
William Cowper, English Poet (1731-1800)
We must not try to force him to take civilization immediately in its complete form, but under just laws, guaranteeing to Indians equal civil laws, the Indian question, a source of such dishonor to our country and of shame to true patriots, will soon be a thing of the past.
George Crook, American Soldier (1828-1890)
I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.
Jamie Lee Curtis, American Actress (1958-  )
But let us not too hastily triumph in the shame of Sparta, lest we aggravate our own condemnation.
Thomas Day, British Author (1748-1789)
Those who cultivate moral confusion for profit should understand this: we will name their names and shame them as they deserve to be shamed.
Bob Dole, American Politician (1923-  )
I just don't know that shame and fear need to be our teachers; rather, compassion, understanding, and love should be our guides.
Kyan Douglas, American Celebrity (1970-  )
I also know how to ask people for money and I have no shame about doing that.
Roma Downey, Irish Actress (1960-  )
Shame on the body for breaking down while the spirit perseveres.
John Dryden, English Poet (1631-1700)
Shame is an unhappy emotion invented by pietists in order to exploit the human race.
Blake Edwards, American Director (1922-  )
At best the family teaches the finest things human beings can learn from one another generosity and love. But it is also, all too often, where we learn nasty things like hate, rage and shame.
Barbara Ehrenreich, American Writer (1941-  )
