A Quote by Tallulah Bankhead

I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, 'I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.'

I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.

Tallulah Bankhead

I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess.

Tallulah Bankhead

I strongly endorse Donald Trump because we need a president that will put our veterans in front of the line rather than watch them die while in line.

Ryan Zinke

I would rather be right and die than be wrong and kill.

Holly Lisle

I would rather die fighting for what is right, than live passively amidst all that is wrong.

Suzy Kassem

'Head Over Boots' is a shuffle, but it's more of a Motown laid-back shuffle than, say, a Dwight Yoakam shuffle.

Jon Pardi

As there must be moderation in other things, so there must be moderation in self-criticism. Perpetual contemplation of our own actions produces a morbid consciousness, quite unlike that normal consciousness accompanying right actions spontaneously done; and from a state of unstable equilibrium long maintained by effort, there is apt to be a fall towards stable equilibrium, in which the primitive nature reasserts itself. Retrogression rather than progression may hence result.

Herbert Spencer

The Greens will continue to champion a fairer society rather than simply the economy and to champion the parliament rather than simply the stock exchange .

Bob Brown

Live Free or Die Hard may work better for an audience that doesn't know much about the series is than it will for Die Hard die hards, who will be wondering who that impersonator is and what he did with the real John McClane. The original Die Hard came out of nowhere to blitz the 1988 summer box office. The fourth installment arrives with a weight of expectations that Atlas would have trouble shouldering and, when the dust settles in September, it's unlikely that Live Free or Die Hard will be one of this year's big success stories.

James Berardinelli

We lost our way and allowed greed and excess to become the twin pillars of too much of the financial culture. We became a society utterly absorbed in consumption and dismissive of moderation.

Tom Brokaw

There may be an excess of cultivation as well as of anything else, until civilization becomes pathetic. A highly cultivated man,--all whose bones can be bent! whose heaven-born virtues are but good manners!

Henry David Thoreau

Sin may result from activities that begin innocently or that are perfectly legitimate in moderation, but in excess they can cause us to veer from the straight and narrow path to our destruction.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Vertical lift-up politics rather than horizontal left-right.

Mike Huckabee

It's better to decide wrongly than weakly. If you're weak, you're likely to be wrong anyway.

Bill Parcells

With no bottom line, it's hard to know wrong from right. But I ain't ever satisfied.

John Mellencamp

It may be conjectured that it is cheaper in the long run to lift men up than to hold them down, and that the ballot in their hands is less dangerous to society than a sense of wrong is in their heads.

James Russell Lowell
