“No alibi will save you from accepting the responsibility.”
Napoleon Hill
“Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“The most important thought that ever occupied my mind is that of my individual responsibility to God.”
Daniel Webster
“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson
“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
Albert Ellis
“One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license.”
P. J. O'Rourke
