A bully has no respect for a weakling and the way to stop a bully is not to be weak. The way to stop a bully from ever being a bully is to say: "I'm as strong as you. Anything you do to me, I can do to you." We are going for nuclear and conventional disarmament but we're going about it in the right way.

Margaret Thatcher

When I watch Rumble Johnson, he's a bully. He bullies guys. He makes them go backward, and he traps them. I'm not going to allow that. If he tries to bully me, I'll stand right in front of him, and if he hits me, I'll hit him right back. And then we'll see how the bully handles it when nobody is going to run away from him.

Daniel Cormier

The problems of reporting a bully - or, if you are a bully, of becoming less of one - become much more intractable, because your reputation surrounds you, and behavioral patterns are harder to escape.

Maria Konnikova

A bully is going to be a bully, and you have to stand up for yourself. You can't expect everyone else is going to come and run to your aid. You have to stand your ground; that's very important.

Kirstin Maldonado

No bully - and Trump is the apotheosis of every bully, ever - is ever satisfied with just one day's worth of your lunch money.

Rick Wilson

It is insufficient to say that my experience as a bully haunts me. Rather, my experience as a bully has been fundamental to the creation of my conscience, because it is what prevents me from making the basic human claim that I am a good person.

Tom Junod

There is a certain amount of politeness here in America, which is probably more than just politeness.

Yiyun Li

You can do a lot more with weapons and politeness than just politeness.

Vladimir Putin

Politeness only teaches us to save others from unnecessary pain.... You are not bound by politeness to tell any falsehoods.

Maria Edgeworth

I sent my ex-husband a bully card: You held hate in one heart and spoke niceties with the other, you laid warm hands upon me in public and wounded me in private, your noble face hid your filthy ways, and your sorrow was but laughter.

Jenny Jay

Most bullies are the product of a stressful and often abusive home life. Next time a bully threatens or attacks you, just yell, 'Don't abuse me like your parents abuse you!' Then call children's services and tell them you saw this bully crying in the bathroom and you're worried about him. Bam! He just got moved to a foster home.

Eugene Mirman

People talk about bullying, but you can be your own bully in some ways. You can be the person who is standing in the way of your success, and that was the case for me.

Katy Perry

I had my bully, and it was excruciating. Not only the bully, but the intimidation I felt.

Robert Cormier

There's only one thing a bully respected: bigger bully.

Lisa Kleypas

A bully is a bully, and it's important that you stand up to them.

David Hogg

I hate being moved. I hate that man who came in. So self-righteous, so cruel. He made fun of me, that's why I cried. You never did that. You led me into temptation by your - politeness.

Peter Ustinov
