Blame Quotes

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them."
George Bernard Shaw

"A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday."
Alexander Pope

Greg Anderson

"Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own.

"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy."
Wayne Dyer

"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look into the reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.

Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change."
Thich Nhat Hanh

"If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees." Kahlil Gibran

"There is luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel no one else has a right to blame us."
Oscar Wilde

"If you don't have the skills to get a better job, whom should you blame? Take responsibility and accept the blame. After all, you have the choice - you are blessed with the opportunity to acquire new skills from thousands of schools, or courses to chose from." Byron Pulsifer, Are Your Blessings Visible

"A man may fall many times but he won't be a failure until he says someone pushed him."
Elmer G. Letterman
