As the man left and became gone the fault wailed after him, heartbroken. Yelling back at him all the ways he and it belonged to one another.
~ Rosca Marx
The victim mindset produces a delusion of fault and blame that blinds you from the simple truth of cause and effect.
~ Steve Maraboli
When something horrible happens, it's human nature to want to blame it on someone. We want someone to be held accountable, even though sometimes things just happen.
~ Meg Cabot
You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are.
~ Habeeb Akande
Reproach is shame, blame, disgrace, disapproval and a disrespectful attitude toward yourself. When you're under reproach, your behavior shows it.
~ Joyce Meyer
Women live lives of continual apology. They are born and raised to take the blame for other people's behavior. If they are treated without respect, they tell themselves that they have failed to earn respect. If their husbands do not fancy them, it is because they are unattractive.
~ Germaine Greer
If there ever was a religious war full of terror, it was the crusades. But you can't blame Christianity because a few adventurers did this. That's my message.
~ Moustapha Akkad
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
~ John Burroughs
A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.
I am aware that as an actor, I can blame others for the failure of a film, the director, the script, choice of co-stars, timing of the release and so on. But now, as the director, I will have to shoulder all the blame.
~ Anupam Kher
Do not blame anybody for your mistakes and failures.
~ Bernard Baruch
It's not a failure if a marriage or partnership ends after a certain number of years. I think, in general, we expect too much of partners. We can't fulfil a person's every single need and, after ten years or so, many relationships wear out. If we were more philosophical about it, we wouldn't try to blame the other person or be bitter.
~ Deborah Moggach
You can't blame gravity for falling in love.
~ Albert Einstein
When people are lame, they love to blame.
~ Robert Kiyosaki
I think parenting these days is definitely different from when a lot of people grew up. As much blame as we give a lot of our kids for what they're not doing... I also try to give them as much credit for dealing with things that we didn't have to deal with. Bullying was one on one and face to face. Now it's all over the Internet.
~ Nelly
To err is human - and to blame it on a computer is even more so.
~ Robert Orben
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
~ Thomas À Kempis
ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so, one could blame the companies, but really, economically, they have no incentive to change things very much because they're getting the business.
~ Robert Sternberg
I love technology, and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it, and it always has been.
~ Steve Martin
The Chinese mom is not the helicopter mom. I would never do their homework for them. It's all about: Take responsibility, don't blame others. Be self-reliant. Never blame the teacher.
~ Amy Chua
I blame feminism and Facebook for the death of the American automobile. I'm a Republican, so I blame everything on feminism - or commies.
~ P. J. O'rourke
Why is it when we have a bad experience with a product, we assume it is us, but a bad experience with food, we blame the food?!
~ Jonathan Ive
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... reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.
~ Casey Stengel
People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
~ J. Michael Straczynski
History is the story of events, with praise or blame.
~ Cotton Mather
When you blame others, you give up your power to change.
~ Robert Anthony
I call the discourse of power any discourse that engenders blame, hence guilt, in its recipient.
~ Roland Barthes
If someone is always to blame, if every time something goes wrong someone has to be punished, people quickly stop taking risks. Without risks, there can't be breakthroughs.
~ Peter Diamandis
I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.
~ Yoko Ono
The blame is his who chooses: God is blameless.
~ Plato
You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
~ Evel Knievel
You cannot blame the mismanagement of the economy or the fact that we have not invested adequately in education in order to give our people the knowledge, the skills and the technology that they need in order to be able to use the resources that Africa has to gain wealth.
~ Wangari Maathai
Sometimes, when I hear people without experience of addiction blame addicts for their behaviour, I feel like saying to them: 'You simply don't understand - how can a child be held responsible for doing such a dreadful thing to himself?' But then again, at other times I have to acknowledge: it was done wilfully.
~ Will Self
As soon as men know that they can kill without fear of punishment or blame, they kill; or at least they encourage killers with approving smiles.
~ Simone Weil
Hope and change? We're not doing that anymore. They're doing attack and blame. And so, I just think people are going to see through this. They want real leadership. They want us to get this country on the right track.
~ Paul Ryan
I fear some of our leaders today have lost the courage to stand up. What we have now are politicians. They won't offer real plans, and only stand up when they want to blame someone else.
~ Susana Martinez
Great leaders don't rush to blame. They instinctively look for solutions.
~ Nina Easton
I think it's probably the Dutch who are to blame for starting the whole 'art business', because before they came along, art was attached to relatively stable structures, and it was everybody's. It was like going to the movies.
~ Antony Gormley
In the hands of the ego, marriage is a prison. It is exclusive. It is a place where people are constantly reminded of their failures and limited by the energies of another person. It is rife with judgment and blame.
~ Marianne Williamson
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
~ John Keats
