Our most noted satirists are true columnists and their opinions can be worth more than any well-documented exposé.

Umberto Eco

Acting is an opportunity for me to try to explore and examine and expose humanity's weaknesses that are intrinsic to our nature as humans and learn from them; thereby, it's like a sociological expose.

Bokeem Woodbine

Pride, ill nature, and want of sense are the three great sources of ill manners; without some one of these defects, no man will behave himself ill for want of experience, or what, in the language of fools, is called knowing the world.

Jonathan Swift

Pride, ill nature, and want of sense, are the three great sources of ill manners.

Jonathan Swift

Our good qualities expose us more to hatred and persecution than all the ill we do.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

There is an ill-breeding to which, whatever our rank and nature, we are almost equally sensitive, the ill-breeding that comes from want of consideration for others.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.

Rumi

If you write your own material and perform your own material, then nobody can really expose it because if you keep your secrets close to yourself, then nobody can really expose you.

Keith Barry

The human mind appears suddenly and inexplicably out of some unknown and unimaginable void. It passes half its known life in the mental chaos of sleep. Even when awake it is a victim of its own ill-adjustment, of disease, of age, of external suggestion, of nature's compulsions; it doubts its own sensations and trusts only in instruments and averages.

Christopher Morley

Charity and good-nature give a sanction to the most common actions; and pride and ill-nature make our best virtues despicable.

William Wycherley

A man fashions ill for himself who fashions ill for another, and the ill design is most ill for the designer.

Hesiod

Calumniators are those who have neither good hearts nor good understandings. We ought not to think ill of any one till we have palpable proof; and even then we should not expose them to others.

Robert Emmet

Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself. Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on principle at the onset.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The soul of man, left to its own natural level, is a potentially lucid crystal left in darkness. It is perfect in its own nature, but it lacks something that it can only receive from outside and above itself. But when the light shines in it, it becomes in a manner transformed into light and seems to lose its nature in the splendor of a higher nature, the nature of the light that is in it.

Thomas Merton
