It's human nature to blame someone else for your shortcomings or upsets.

We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.

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.

The difficulty we have in accepting responsibility for our behavior lies in the desire to avoid the pain of the consequences of that behavior.

In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'

Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.

Some of us are better at owning the responsibility of our actions than others.

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

We always blame other people when things go wrong. For example, family to friends, you think they'll stay by your side, and you realise they never do. But that's life.

I have always been willing to take the blame for the things I have done.
