Men the most infamous are fond of fame,
And those who fear not guilt yet start at shame.
--
The Author (1763), line 233.Charles Churchill
» Charles Churchill - all quotes »
I am so far away from being the person I want to be. I am a terrible person and I am overwhelmed with guilt. I am paralyzed with shame and fear. If I work hard at improving myself each day, I may get a little tiny bit better, but I won't get much better—I'll never be great. It's too late for me. I've really blown it.
John S. Hall
Some might consider him as too fond of fame; for the desire for glory clings even to the best men longer than any other passion.
Tacitus
Glory, built
On selfish principles, is shame and guilt.William Cowper
To be fond of learning is to be near to knowledge. To practice with vigor is to be near to magnanimity. To possess the feeling of shame is to be near to energy.
Confucius
The only art her guilt to cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom, is — to die.Oliver Goldsmith
