“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.”
Wayne Dyer
“It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you place the blame.”
Oscar Wilde
“When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there.”
Joe Strummer
“What we do is never understood, but only praised and blamed.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on.”
Dan Castellaneta
“A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.”
Arnold H. Glasgow
“I praise loudly, I blame softly”
Catherine the Great
“If a square peg doesn’t fit a round hole, neither the peg nor the hole is to blame. Between two people, the question "whose fault is it?" is the friend of argumentation and the destroyer of growth-oriented communication. Assigning blame involves listening to criticize and responding to defend, speaking to lower the other person rather than speaking to build each up. Relational progress is impossible as long as blame is the focus because blame and progress are enemies. In our litigation-hungry society we must take care that focusing on fault - which is proper for the courtroom - doesn’t carry over into interpersonal relationships. The heart of loving communication is listening to understand.”
Jeffrey Bryant
“But they whose guilt within their bosoms lie Imagine every eye beholds their blame”
William Shakespeare
