A leader has the right to be beaten, but never the right to be surprised.

– Napoleon Bonaparte

A man that should call everything by its right name, would hardly pass the streets without being knocked down as a common enemy.

– Lord Halifax

A thing is right if it tends to preserve the stability, integrity, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong if it tends otherwise.

– Aldo Leopold

Accidents are not accidents but precise arrivals at the wrong right time.

– Dejan Stojanovic

Ace The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior's college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it's like checkin' into an airport. And if you order room service, you're lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it's all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing

– Casino

All men have an equal right to the free development of their faculties they have an equal right to the impartial protection of the state but it is not true, it is against all the laws of reason and equity, it is against the eternal nature of things, that the indolent man and the laborious man, the spendthrift and the economist, the imprudent and the wise, should obtain and enjoy an equal amount of goods.

– Victor Cousin

Always keep left for a safe ride, because passionate bikers will be always right.

Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.

– J. C. Watts

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

– Oprah Winfrey

Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
Expediency asks the question - is it political?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, popular, or political; but because it is right.

– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Did you know that for pretty much the entire history of the human species, the average life span was less than thirty years? You could count on ten years or so of real adulthood, right? There was no planning for retirement. There was no planning for a career. There was no planning. No time for planning. No time for future. But then the life spans started getting longer, and people started having more and more future, and so they spent more time thinking about it. About the future. And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future --you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college.

– John Green

Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy Is to forget the right way And forget that the going is easy.

– Chuang-tzu

God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die.

– Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work You don't give up.

– Anne Lamott

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

– Martin Luther King, Jr.

I had rather be right than be President.

– Henry Clay

I leave this rule for others when I'm dead, Be always sure you're right--then go ahead.

– Davy Crockett

I may not believe in what you say, but I will die for your right to do so.

– Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire

I never question a success, any more than I do the right of a bulldog to lie in his own gateway.

– Josh Billings

I'll say it again, for every moment you're with the wrong person, you are robbing yourself and the right person of the opportunity to find real happiness.

– Ingrid Weir

I've discovered that researching family descendants is similar to putting a mouse into a puzzle box to find the cheese. Every time you think you're on the right path, you hit a dead end.

– T.R. Threston

If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind.
