Nothing works unless you do the work.
Victims make excuses. Leaders deliver results.
Leaders don’t make excuses. They create results.
The excuses we make destroy the results we deserve.
We create our own destiny by the way we do things. We have to take advantage of opportunities and be responsible for our choices.
You can’t dodge your responsibilities by saying they don’t exist!
I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.
You cannot fix what you will not face.
We are the choices we make.
We’re all flawed heroes. Responsibility is power. Take responsibility for the consequences of your actions, and the world is yours. Everything is a choice.
You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way, you’re accountable.
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.
You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.
No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.
You are free to choose, but you are not free to alter the consequences of your decisions.
