It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.
William Arthur Ward
Image
Do you find yourself making excuses when you do not perform? Shed the excuses and face reality. Excuses are the loser's way out. They will mar your credibility and stunt your personal growth.
Alexander Pope
Image
I like a person who knows his own mind and sticks to it who sees at once what is to be done in given circumstances and does it. He does not beat about the bush for difficulties or excuses, but goes the shortest and most effectual way to work to attain his own ends, or to accomplish a useful object.
William Hazlitt
Image
The IRA have nowhere to go. I've stripped away all their excuses, one by one.
Albert Reynolds
Image
You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.
Albert Camus
Image
I don't feel my best right now, but at the same time, I'm not trying to find any excuses or anything.
Johan Santana
Image
As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined.
Michael Gove
Image
The hypocrite looks for faults the believer looks for excuses.
Al-Ghazali
Image
I'm not a rookie anymore-no more excuses about being young.
Adrian Beltre

I would like to take revenge but I'm not looking for excuses for having lost to her
Elena Dementieva

Regardless of the difficulties we may face individually, in our families, in our communities and in our nation, the old adage is still true - you can make excuses or you can make progress, but you cannot make both! The America I know doesn't make excuses.
Mia Love
Image
The main thing is this: we should never blame anyone or anything for our defeats. No matter how evil their intentions may be, they are altogether unable to harm us until we begin to blame them and use them as excuses for our own unbelief.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
You can have results or excuses. Not both.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Image
The American people, Neil, are sick and tired of excuses. They are sick and tired of the blame game. And they're sick and tired of the deception coming from this president and this administration. This is why I believe that I am doing so well in the polls.
Herman Cain
Image
The reverence for the deeds of our ancestors is a treacherous sentiment. Their merit was not to reverence the old, but to honor the present moment and we falsely make them excuses of the very habit which they hated and defied.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
People with integrity do what they say they are going to do. Others have excuses.
Laura Schlessinger
Image
Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses.
Brian Tracy
Image
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.
Agatha Christie
Image
Even good excuses, really good ones, don't help very much. Explanations, on the other hand, are both scarce and useful. And accurate forecasts and insightful intuition are priceless.
Seth Godin
Image
Everyone isn’t logical. Everything doesn’t make sense in the end. Sometimes you have to forget about explanations or excuses and leave people and places behind, because otherwise they will drag you straight down.
Tammara Webber
Image
Homecoming's stupid. And it is. Buch of kids looking for excuses to grope eachother all night.
Barry Lyga
Image
It's too easy when you're not winning to look for excuses and point at others for reasons. You ca say 'Oh well, it's this guys fault or they don't do this well', or you can say 'I've got to play better and contribute more'. You've got to find another gear and come up with big games.
Sean Burke
Image
I think this an outrage and I think the fact that the KGB is involved in this election [2016] is an outrage and I think the American people ought to take their democracy back regardless of what the press wants to do and the excuses they want to make for [James] Comey. That's what I think.
James Carville
Image
I feel very sorry for people who are trapped in an abusive relationship and keep making excuses for their abuser.
