When a man is wrong and won't admit it, he always gets angry.

When a man is wrong and won't admit it, he always gets angry

Summary

This quote highlights the tendency of individuals to become angry when they refuse to acknowledge their mistakes or accept their wrongdoings. It suggests that anger often arises as a defense mechanism, serving to protect the person's ego and deflect from their inability to admit their faults. In such situations, admitting and taking responsibility for one's errors is crucial in fostering personal growth and maintaining healthy relationships. Failure to do so may result in a continuous cycle of anger and denial.

The world is passing through troubling times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress.

I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct.

Of America it would ill beseem any Englishman, and me perhap

Of America it would ill beseem any Englishman, and me perhaps as little as another, to speak unkindly, to speak unpatriotically, if any of us even felt so. Sure enough, America is a great, and in many respects a blessed and hopeful phenomenon. Sure enough, these hardy millions of Anglosaxon men prove themselves worthy of their genealogy. But as to a Model Republic, or a model anything, the wise among themselves know too well that there is nothing to be said. Their Constitution, such as it may be, was made here, not there. Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions.
