Blaming others is excusing yourself.
Robin Sharma
Image
French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.
Simon Baker
Image
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.
William Shakespeare
Image
If you keep on excusing, you eventually give your blessing to the slave camp, to cowardly force, to organized executioners, to the cynicism of great political monsters you finally hand over your brothers.
Albert Camus
Image
Humour is...the all-consoling and...the all-excusing, grace of life.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We're not excusing the ones who are mean, but I want girls to understand the psychology. It's not in everyone. But the bully needs to put this pain somewhere.
Elizabeth Berkley
Image
We live in a world of transgressions and selfishness, and no pictures that represent us otherwise can be true though happily for human nature, gleamings of that pure spirit in whose likeness man has been fashioned, are to be seen, relieving its deformities, and mitigating, if not excusing its crimes.
James F. Cooper
Image
The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read. Not by any other person, and not even by yourself at some later date. Otherwise you begin excusing yourself. You must see the writing as emerging like a long scroll of ink from the index finger of your right hand you must see your left hand erasing it.
Margaret Atwood
Image
Eliminate the word impossible from your conversation, drop it from your thoughts, erase it from your attitudes. Stop rationalizing it. Cease excusing it. Substitute for it that bright and shining word...POSSIBLE.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Blaming others is nothing more than excusing yourself.
Robin Sharma
Image
Be yourself' is good advice, unless you notice that people are always excusing themselves and moving away from you. In that case, try being someone else!
Susan RoAne
Image
And oftentimes excusing of a fault Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse, As patches set upon a little breach, Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch'd.
William Shakespeare
Image
Like one of those fake-smart, middlebrow TV shows, the speciousness of The Social Network is disguised by topicality. It's really a movie excusing Hollywood ruthlessness.
Armond White
Image
Forgiveness does not mean excusing.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It is remarkable that among all the preachers there are so few moral teachers. The prophets are employed in excusing the ways of men.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Forgiving is tough. Excusing is easy. What a mistake it is to confuse forgiving with being mushy, soft, gutless, and oh, so understanding. Before we forgive, we stiffen our spine and we hold a person accountable. And only then, in tough-minded judgment, can we do the outrageously impossible thing: we can forgive.
Lewis B. Smedes
Image
The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
Moliere
