Shame Quotes
-
If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.
Boyd K. Packer
-
Closeness can lead to emotions other than love. It's the ones who have been too intimate with you, lived in too close quarters, seen too much of your pain or envy or, perhaps more than anything, your shame, who, at the crucial moment, can be too easy to cut out, to exile, to expel, to kill off.
Daniel Mendelsohn
-
I don't believe that expressing your opinion, regardless of who is there, is being rude. And it's a shame that we've reached a level in our country where we think that you don't have the right to put your opinion out there.
Benjamin Carson
-
If we would induce others to act virtuously, it will prove more effectual to show them their capacities than to expose their weakness--to attract them by a fairer ideal than to terrify them by pictures of misery and shame.
Edwin Hubbell Chapin
-
There is a huge amount of shame connected to the feeling of not being loved, because love and family, biological or not, confirms our existence. Everyone needs to be seen, accepted and loved.
Anne Sewitsky
-
Shame is like the weaver's thread; if it breaks in the net, it is wholly imperfect.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
It's not oil that runs the world, it's shame.
Sherman Alexie
-
Shame must be accepted to be effective.
Seth Godin
-
God chose what is weakest in the world to shame the strong.
Terry Eagleton
-
I read a lot of studies about the fact that there is a bias in the way health care is doled out, down to the fact that most medical studies are done on men, not women, so most dosages are planned for men, not women, and on and on. And more than that, women's pain is gauged differently and their complaints are received differently. And the idea that there's a place where you can go where everything is geared toward you, as a woman, is great. But it's a shame that we need to find places that are "safe" when the world, the whole world, should be a safe place.
Shonda Rhimes
-
Shame is the power we give others to wield over us.
Chinelo Okparanta

What do you want in your life? What do you want in your relationships? And if you say, I'd like them to be harmonious; I'd like them to be free; I'd like not to be in a state of blame all the time or shame. If you answer like that, then I would say, look at what's unforgiven. Look at where you know you did wrong and you would like to go to that person and say - I'm sorry. Can we start over? If you want to have a happier life, I would say, practice forgiveness.
