In public, an admission of technological inadequacy would be too embarrassing.

Elliott Abrams

Confrontational things, admission of error, admission of defeat, restructuring, laying people off - those are not American ideals.

Wilbur Ross

Much of what's called 'public' is increasingly a private good paid for by users - ever-higher tolls on public highways and public bridges, higher tuitions at so-called public universities, higher admission fees at public parks and public museums.

Robert Reich

War is the admission of defeat in the face of conflicting interests.

Germaine Greer

A patchwork solution of provincial targets is an admission of defeat and a statement that we have failed our children and grandchildren.

Elizabeth May

Embarrassed journalists ask me embarrassing questions, and they get embarrassing answers, and then hand out embarrassing stories to the embarrassing editors, who put them to the front pages of newspapers. When is this going to end?

Yao Ming

Slightly embarrassing admission: Even when I was a kid, I used to have these little spy books, and I would, like, see what everybody was doing in my neighborhood and log it down.

Heather Brooke

Clive Ponting

I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool.

Aubrey Plaza

However often marriage is dissolved, it remains indissoluble. Real divorce, the divorce of the heart and nerve and fiber, does not exist, since there is no divorce from memory.

Virgilia Peterson

It is defeat that turns bone to flint; it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle; it is defeat that makes men invincible. Do not then be afraid of defeat. You are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause.

Henry Ward Beecher
