Quotations regarding 'Shame'

Choose a letter: 
False shame accompanies a man that is poor, shame that either harms a man greatly or profits him; shame is with poverty, but confidence with wealth.
Hesiod, Greek Poet
Toil is no source of shame; idleness is shame.
Hesiod, Greek Poet
The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, profane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame or blame.
Thomas Hobbes, English Philosopher (1588-1679)
It is the false shame of fools to try to conceal wounds that have not healed.
Horace, Roman Poet
Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young.
A. E. Housman, English Poet (1859-1936)
It is a most disgraceful shame the way in which Irishmen are brought up. They are ashamed of their language, institutions, and of everything Irish.
Douglas Hyde, Irish Politician (1860-1949)
It's a shame the Manchester United situation turned sour.
Paul Ince, English Athlete (1967-  )
It's a crying shame we don't play more parks and fairs. I would love to go right to the Chamber of Commerce or whoever they are, so that we could get involved in a different way.
Davy Jones, English Musician (1945-  )
Amin is the shame of the whole world. The fact that he managed to rule so long and commit so many crimes was only possible thanks to the hypocrisy of the East and the West who were waging the Cold War for world domination.
Ryszard Kapuscinski, Polish Journalist (1932-  )
It's a shame because we experienced probably the greatest thing - in art, in pop - we'll ever do. And it would be good to sit around and talk about it.
Gary Kemp, British Musician (1959-  )
Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.
Johannes Kepler, German Scientist (1571-1630)
Corporal punishment is as humiliating for him who gives it as for him who receives it; it is ineffective besides. Neither shame nor physical pain have any other effect than a hardening one.
Ellen Key, Swedish Writer (1849-  )
Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
Paul Klee, Swiss Artist (1879-1940)
I seem to find different material every four to six months and I frequently forget it which is a shame because it would be nice to have a bigger library.
Leo Kottke, American Musician (1945-  )
Justice is a whore that won't let herself be stiffed, and collects the wages of shame even from the poor.
Karl Kraus, Austrian Writer (1874-1936)
One of the misfortunes of our time is that in getting rid of false shame we have killed off so much real shame as well.
Louis Kronenberger, American Critic (1904-1980)
I was beautiful. Now, because I am old, I take no shame in so saying.
Lillie Langtry, British Actress (1853-1929)
It is a matter of public shame that while we have now commemorated our hundredth anniversary, not one in every ten children attending Public schools throughout the colonies is acquainted with a single historical fact about Australia.
Henry Lawson, Australian Writer (1867-1922)
It is quite time that our children were taught a little more about their country, for shame's sake.
Henry Lawson, Australian Writer (1867-1922)
In the cellars of the night, when the mind starts moving around old trunks of bad times, the pain of this and the shame of that, the memory of a small boldness is a hand to hold.
John Leonard, Australian Poet (1965-  )
