Draw the curtain, the fraud is over.
Francois Rabelais
A man may fall many times but he won't be a failure until he says someone pushed him.
Elmer G. Letterman
We must remember not to judge any public servant by any one act, and especially should we beware of attacking the men who are merely the occasions and not the cause of disaster.
Theodore Roosevelt
Neither blame or praise yourself.
Proverb
No one to blame! That was why most people led lives they hated, with people they hated. How wonderful to have someone to blame! How wonderful to live with one's nemesis! You may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. You may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.
Erica Jong
Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one is to blame.
Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.
Chinese Proverb
There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.
Arnold Bennett
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
He has great tranquillity of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.
Thomas Kempis
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me? Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.
Charles Monroe Schulz
In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.
Nancy Astor
Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it.
Steve Maraboli
To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.
Plutarch
God isn't what's wrong with the world. It's just who people blame when there's nowhere to point the finger but at ourselves.
James Dye
People who are out to find fault seldom find anything else. It is a waste of time, no matter how much you find fault, it is not going to change anything. It's better to find a remedy.
It's too easy to criticize a man when he's out of favour, and to make him shoulder the blame for everybody else's mistakes.
Leo Tolstoy
No one is a failure until they blame somebody else.
Charles ''Tremendous'' Jones
I praise loudly, I blame softly.
Catherine II of Russia
