If everyone is to be made responsible for everything they do, you must extend responsibility beyond the level of conscious intention.

We are responsible for actions performed in response to circumstances for which we are not responsible.

Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity.

I think people have to take responsibility for their own actions.

I actively avoided responsibility for as long as I possibly could.

I am here to accept responsibility for that which I did. I will not accept responsibility for that which I did not do.

I do not take up a responsibility unless I am sure of putting my heart and soul into it.

There is always a very delicate interplay between individual actions and institutional conditions. But there is no such thing as institutional conditions without any individual actions and no such thing as individual action without institutional conditions. So there is always personal responsibility.

When accepting a responsibility, imagine that it's something that you'll have to do next week. That way you don't agree to something just because it seems so far off that it doesn't seem onerous.

Each is responsible for his own actions.
