Offense Quotes

He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool. Brigham Young
...William wondered why he always disliked people who said 'no offense meant.' Maybe it was because they found it easier to to say 'no offense meant' than actually to refrain from giving offense. Terry Prachett
The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it. Fyodor Dostoevsky
And before you know it, the object disappears, arguments evaporate; no culprit is discovered, the offense ceases to be an offense and becomes a matter of fate, like the toothache which cannot be blamed on anyone, and the only thing that's left is, once again, to bang the wall as hard as you can. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Thomas Hardy quote: "If an offense come out of the truth, better is it that the..."
If an offense come out of the truth, better is it that the offense come than that the truth be concealed. Thomas Hardy
the most offensive is not their lying—one can always forgive lying—lying is a delightful thing, for it leads to truth—what is offensive is that they lie and worship their own lying… Fyodor Dostoevsky
In fact, for all kinds of offenses - and, for no offenses - from murders to misdemeanors, men and women are put to death without judge or jury; so that, although the political excuse was no longer necessary, the wholesale murder of human beings went on just the same. Ida B. Wells
The type of athletes we draft still need types of versatility on the defense side of the ball, run the offense. You should still be concerned on the offense side of the ball. Isaiah Thomas
Alan Thicke quote: "If it is a first offense, you ground them and have a talk. The..."
If it is a first offense, you ground them and have a talk. The second offense would call for counseling. Alan Thicke
I think I've got an outstanding defensive assistant staff that's really going to help us have consistent, strong defenses. And offensively, we have an excellent staff. We've got some younger guys on offense, but that's what I coach and have my entire coaching career. Steve Spurrier
Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins. Dan Quayle
Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive. Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm hungry, Garion, and I don't think well when I'm hungry."That might explain a lot," Beldin noted blandly. "We should have fed you more often when you were younger." "You can be terribly offensive sometimes, do you know that?"Why, yes, as a matter of fact I do. David Eddings
Judy Blume quote: "Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so..."
Something will be offensive to someone in every book, so you've got to fight it. Judy Blume
The Bible is the weapon which enables us to join with our Lord on the offensive in defeating the spiritual hosts of wickedness. But is must be the Bible as the Word of God in everything it teaches- in matters if salvation, but just as much where it speaks of history and science and morality. If we compromise in any if these areas...we destroy the power of the Word and ourselves in the hands of the enemy. Francis Schaeffer
