Blame is a Cop Out
A man can fail many times,
but he isn't a failure until
he begins to blame somebody else.
- John Burroughs
No one "does it to you."
You do it to yourself through other people.
- Anonymous
When you blame others, you give up your power to change.
- Robert Anthony
Those who are dedicated to a life of wisdom
understand that the impulse to blame
something or someone is foolishness,
that there is nothing to be gained in blaming,
whether it be others or oneself.
- Epictetus
It is an act of great Courage to forsake all Blame.
Take responsibility for your whole life -
regardless of circumstances.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
