If past behavior is any indication, Donald Trump's behavior would not be acceptable.

Julianne Malveaux

There is no such thing as an acceptable level of unemployment, because hunger is not acceptable, poverty is not acceptable, poor health is not acceptable, and a ruined life is not acceptable.

Hubert H. Humphrey

Feelings can be controlled and behavior can be controlled. The line of sin is between the feelings and the behavior. The line of prudence is between the susceptibility and the feelings.

Dallin H. Oaks

At the core of all human behavior, the good feelings we all want are more or less the same. Therefore, what we get out of life is not determined by the good feelings we desire but by what bad feelings we're willing to sustain.

Mark Manson

Beware 'good' main characters who have a limited repertory of culturally acceptable feelings, while your evil bastards have a full range of vivid, passionate feelings.

Bill Johnson

Homosexual feelings are controllable. Perhaps there is an inclination or susceptibility to such feelings that is a reality for some and not a reality for others. But out of such susceptibilities come feelings, and feelings are controllable. If we cater to the feelings, they increase the power of the temptation. If we yield to the temptation, we have committed sinful behavior. That pattern is the same for a person that covets someone else's property and has a strong temptation to steal. It's the same for a person that develops a taste for alcohol.

Dallin H. Oaks

Most of us are never educated about feelings. Instead, we're expected to learn socially acceptable ways to deal with feelings by watching the people around us. But the truth is, many people don't role model healthy ways to deal with feelings.

Amy Morin

There's still a narrower band of acceptable behavior for women than men.

Sandra E. Peterson

You have a right to your feelings. Your feelings are there to tell you something, but they are not infallible guides to behavior.

Nathaniel Branden

Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books, not to be indiscriminately enforced against anyone who happens to be caught violating them, but to be used when necessary to send a clear message that those who flagrantly violate society's regulation of sexual behavior cannot be permitted to remain as acceptable, equal citizens within that society.

Orson Scott Card

Much of a behavior acceptable today would be socially offensive in a saner or more logical arrangement.

Jacque Fresco

Women are brought up to think it's acceptable to pay attention to their faces. Men translate their discomfort into their behavior.

Michelle Pfeiffer

There is always a line that can't be crossed. Anything that is said or written from a place of hate will never be acceptable behavior at Barstool.

Dave Portnoy

Gang members aren't frightened into acceptable behavior by increased penalties, enhanced punishments, and the promise of new detention facilities.

Greg Boyle

I personally think that it is acceptable if I take a step forward and can act with more diverse expressions and feelings.

Song Hye-kyo

Feelings are indicators, not dictators. They can indicate where your heart is in the moment, but that doesn't mean they have the right to dictate your behavior and boss you around. You are more than the sum total of your feelings and perfectly capable of that little gift . . . called self-control.
