“The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves.”

I never blame failure – there are too many complicated situations in life – but I am absolutely merciless toward lack of effort.

When you blame and criticize others, you are avoiding some truth about yourself.

You can blame my mom for some of my worst fashion moments. She used to dress me and my sister in a lot of patterns. Like, she would put me in striped stockings with a floral dress. Like, why are you doing that to me?

Bless more; blame less.

Take responsibility for your last bad decision, and then let it go. Don’t blame others or make excuses for yourself.

Praise is sunshine; it warms, it inspires, it promotes growth; blame and rebuke are rain and hail; they beat down and bedraggle, even though they may at times be necessary.

Blame enables us to smuggle our issues into our future.

Owning your own feelings, rather than blaming them on someone else, is the mark of a person who has moved from contracted to expanded awareness.
