Socrates

Evil, Him, Injustice

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Anger, Hurtful, Frequently

Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius

Sense, Reject, Disappears

Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Men, Done, Cannot

Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.
Ron Paul

Death, Live, Liberty

No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.
Thomas Szasz

Learning, Children, Before

I've played with IVs before, during and after games. I've played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don't miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn't that serious in the first place.
Kobe Bryant

Before, After, Place

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but a hatred of all injury.
George Eliot

Sense, Hatred, Injuries

I do myself a greater injury in lying than I do him of whom I tell a lie.
Michel de Montaigne

Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

Where there is injury let me sow pardon.
Francis of Assisi
