The wise thing is for us diligently to train ourselves to lie thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' advantage, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, not cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, as being ashamed of our high calling.
- Mark Twain
[How can everyone help bring peace to the world?] By not being ashamed of who they are and by acting according to their heart's desires. And by telling their stories.
- Paulo Coelho
But, when the chips are down, its better to be furious with someone you love, or frightened for someone you love, than be put through the merciless horror of being ashamed of someone you love.
- James Baldwin
Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.
- Benjamin Franklin
I have spent a good many years since--too many, I think--being ashamed about what I write. I think I was forty before I realized that almost every writer of fiction or poetry who has ever published a line has been accused by someone of wasting his or her God-given talent. If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose), someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all.
- Stephen King
I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time being ashamed.
- Ralph Ellison
The mistake ninety-nine per cent of humanity made, as far as Fats could see, was being ashamed of what they were; lying about it, trying to be somebody else.

There is nothing worse than being ashamed of parsimony or poverty.
- Titus Livius
There's a fine line between being private and being ashamed.
- Portia De Rossi
It's horrible being ashamed of someone you care about; it eats away at you. And if you let it get to you, if you give up the fight and surrender, eventually that shame turns to hate.
