The President publicly apologized today to all those offended by his brother's remark, There's more Arabs in this country than there is Jews! Those offended include Arabs, Jews, and English teachers.

Jimmy Carter

I find that those who voted for George W. Bush are less offended by his religious references, and those who voted for Bill Clinton did not seem offended at all when people prayed at his inauguration.

Gwen Ifill

Consider God's charity. Where else have we ever seen someone who has been offended voluntarily paying out his life for those who have offended him?

St. Catherine of Siena

People are so offended by female body hair. SO offended! They actually say things like, 'Ugh, those hairs are so long.' But we have no issues with a man being head-to-toe hairy. It's so weird.

Stacey Solomon

Personally, I think people need to get over this 'being offended' thing. Being offended does not give you the right to silence people. I get offended by things all the time - it's just part of life. The right not to be offended is not a human right, especially in a democracy.

Ben Miller

I was raised evangelical, so if you want to get offended, let's get offended. I have a master's degree in being offended.

Pete Holmes

If we set the precedent of limiting the First Amendment, in order to protect the sensibilities of those who are offended by flag burning, what will we say the next time someone is offended by some other minority view, or by some other person's exercise of the freedom the Constitution is supposed to protect?

Edward Kennedy

A word to those of you out there who have yet to be offended by something I have said: Please be patient. I am working as fast as I can.

Ann Coulter

I have been guilty of watching Westerns without acknowledging that Native Americans have gone through the same madness as African Americans. Isn't it extraordinary that sometimes the most offended have not seen others being offended?

Judith Jamison

Think about it: what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.

Carlos Castaneda

Just because we feel offended doesn't mean we must be offended. Feelings are indicators not dictators.

Lysa TerKeurst

Being offended is a choice. I believe that. You don't have - you don't hear a word and you have to be offended.

John Bartlett

The way to stop political correctness is to not do it. If someone says, You offended me then you say I don't care! If they're offended by the truth, that's their issue!

Brad Stine

That which offends you only weakens you. Being offended creates the same destructive energy that offended you in the first place- so transcend your ego and stay in peace.

Wayne Dyer

When we believe or say we have been offended, we usually mean we feel insulted, mistreated, snubbed, or disrespected. And certainly clumsy, embarrassing, unprincipled, and mean-spirited things do occur in our interactions with other people that would allow us to take offense. However, it ultimately is impossible for another person to offend you or to offend me. Indeed, believing that another person offended us is fundamentally false. To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.

David A. Bednar

Colorado is a swing state, like Nevada, like North Carolina, like Florida. It all depends. [Donald] Trump has offended Mexicans and Muslims and millennials and some women. Will those offended people be energized to show up in the way that Trump supporters are energized to show up? It will be an energy.
