Blemish Quotes
My life and work have been far from free of blemish, and so I think it would be unpardonable for a biographer not to dish up the dirt.
William Styron
In nature there is no blemish but the mind none can be called deformed but the unkind.
William Shakespeare
That the government's power under the Taft-Hartley Act to stop a strike by injunction so clearly strengthens the hand of the employer--even though it is used only when a strike threatens the national health, welfare, or safety--is a grave blemish and explains much of union resistance to the Act.
Peter Drucker
It's not to pretend you can do everything, but if people like you – in the sense of admiring or having respect for what you are trying to do – then they will understand the odd blemish. If people don't like you, and lack confidence in what you are trying to do, they won't forgive you anything.
Alex Salmond
As a rule, white abolitionists either defended the industrial capitalists or expressed no conscious class loyalty at all. This unquestioning acceptance of the capitalist economic system was evident in the program of the women's rights movement as well. If most abolitionists viewed slavery as a nasty blemish which needed to be eliminated, most women's righters viewed male supremacy in a similar manner-as an immoral flaw in their otherwise acceptable society. The leaders of the women's rights movement did not suspect that the enslavement of Black people in the South, the economic exploitation of Northern workers and the social oppression of women might be systematically related.
Angela Davis
Lies are rust on iron. A blemish on power.
Pierce Brown
" With your own blemish do not taunt your fellow." Deuteronomy 10,19.
Rashi
My mission was to obliterate the blemish which the sarangi carried due to its social origins. I hope I have succeeded in this.
Ram Narayan
There are two things that will blemish a retainer, and these are riches and honor. If one but remains in strained circumstances, he will not be marred.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo
I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, and the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough - I call it the one immortal blemish on the human race.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He is flawless, without a blemish. Majesic . . . muscular.
Gail Carson Levine
My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.
Jude Law
We all are originally sinners as Adam and in Adam, his leprosy cleaving faster to us than Naaman's did to Gahazai, so that even the infant, before it has seen the light of the world, has this blemish inherent in its unborn members.
John Wycliffe
To see how Christ was prophesied and described therein, consider and mark, how that the kid or lamb must be with out spot or blemish; and so was Christ only of all mankind, in the sight of God and of his law.
William Tyndale
One I have loved, uneluding, dearly possessed, Two I have wooed, by greater praise be they blessed – Three, yea, and four, with fortune lavish of gold, Five maidens I've won their white flesh fair to behold, And six more bright than the sun on my city's strong walls With never a treacherous rede to blemish delight; Seven by heaven! though hardly won was the fight – Yea eight of whom I have sung: but to bridle the tongue Lest heedless a careless word slip – the teeth they are strong!
Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd
Both Matilda and Lavender were enthralled. It was quite clear to them that they were at this moment standing in the presence of a master. Here was somebody who had brought the art of skulduggery to the highest point of perfection, somebody, moreover, who was willing to risk life and limb in pursuit of her calling. They gazed in wonder at this goddess, and suddenly even the boil on her nose was no longer a blemish but a badge of courage.
Roald Dahl
To all apparent Beauties blind. Each Blemish strikes an envious Mind.
Benjamin Franklin
In other men we faults can spy, And blame the mote that dims their eye Each little speck and blemish find To our own stronger errors blind.
Benjamin Franklin
There is hardly any bodily blemish which a winning behaviour will not conceal, or make tolerable; and there is no external grace which ill-nature or affectation will not deform.
James Burgh
As sound as what one might expect from the distinguished engineer who drew them up. He has shown the way to turn dire misfortune into a positive blessing. The proposals are without blemish. I strongly advocate carrying out the scheme.
Mokshagundam Visveshvaraya
What is the mark of a Christian? That he be purified of all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit in the Blood of Christ, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God and the love of Christ, and that he have no blemish nor spot nor any such thing; that he be holy and blameless and so eat the Body of Christ and drink His Blood; for 'he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgement to himself.' What is the mark of those who eat the Bread and drink the Cup of Christ? That they keep in perpetual remembrance Him who died for us and rose again.
Basil of Caesarea
