Zitat des Tages über Zu Unrecht / Wrongly:

Several professional athletes have wrongly taught many young Americans by example that the only way to succeed in sports is to take steroids.
Why are we here? I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists solely to make money. Money is an important part of a company's existence, if the company is any good. But a result is not a cause. We have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being.
Most people assume wrongly that science fiction is a male-based genre, when, in fact, there are far more women who tune into sci-fi than anyone expects.
An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.
Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
When a Benefit is wrongly conferred, the author of the Benefit may often be said to injure.
You can make a very good argument that society would be much worse off if you let 10 rapists and murderers free rather than put one poor, wrongly accused accountant in prison. And so my only point on that is that it should open up an argument. It should not sort of settle one, because nobody disagrees with it.
I do take pride in saying that in spite of being in public life for so long, there is not a single case against me, not even for wrongly parking a scooter or driving on the wrong side.
