If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.

That's one of our biggest problems, it's always somebody else's fault instead of our own fault.

We're all victims of our own hubris at times.

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.

Everybody is not a victim.

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

All of our problems start in our minds.

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
