A man must not be without shame, for the shame of being without shame is shamelessness indeed.

Mencius

Edward Hirsch

A good mother loves fiercely but ultimately brings up her children to thrive without her. They must be the most important thing in her life, but if she is the most important thing in theirs, she has failed.

Erin Kelly

You see it is important to understand how damaged people don't always know how to say yes, or to choose the big thing, even when it is right in front of them. It's a shame we carry. The shame of wanting something good. The shame of feeling something good. The shame of not believing we deserve to stand in the same room in the same way as all those we admire. Big red As on our chests.

Lidia Yuknavitch

The only thing you should have to do is find work you love to do. And I can't imagine living without having loved a person. A man, in my case. It could be a woman, but whatever. I think, what I always tell kids when they get out of class and ask, 'What should I do now?' I always say, 'Keep a low overhead. You're not going to make a lot of money.' And the next thing I say: 'Don't live with a person who doesn't respect your work.' That's the most important thing—that's more important than the money thing. I think those two things are very valuable pieces of information.

Grace Paley

The biggest message, we hope, is that money is not the most important thing in life. You have to have it to survive and live but it's not the most important thing in life. It's the legacy you leave and the people that you wrap around you and the love that you have wrapped around you (that) should be the most important thing.

Drew Waters

Whatever it is that you do, if you have that passion and desire for it, that's the most important thing.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

Pierre de Coubertin

Whatever the situation, winning is always the most important thing.

Marco van Basten

Whatever anybody says, the most important thing in life is to be happy.

Orhan Pamuk

Whatever you do in terms of telling a story, the most important thing that you can define is who you are.

John Patrick Shanley

I don't care about personal stats or whatever. Winning is the most important thing.

Ivica Zubac

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

Kobe Bryant

By realizing that we are ignorant of the most important things, we realize at the same time that the most important thing for us, or the one thing needful, is quest for knowledge of the most important things or quest for wisdom.

Leo Strauss

It's important for me to win the fight, but it's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to show people who spend their hard-earned money that they can be entertained by the way I fight.

Manny Pacquiao
