fault

«Nothing can work me damage except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me, and never am a real sufferer but by my own fault.»
«My feelings for you shame me into silence. The truth of this and your name will never be revealed. It is you who has made me realize the failure of my life. The thought of you fills me with longing and at the same time, a burning humiliation that produces scar tissue and dead brain cells. Your existence mocks me and I am unable to confront this. You have no idea of any of this. None of this is your fault. It is completely with me. It is you who makes me see what I really am. I am weak and out of touch with myself.»
«Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.»
«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.»
«None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.»
«Never ask a man where's he's been. If he's out on legitimate business, he doesn't need an alibi. And, girls, if he has been out on illegitimate business, it's your own fault.»
«My great mistake, the fault for which I can't forgive myself, is that one day I ceased my obstinate pursuit of my own individuality.»
«It is a man's own fault, it is from want of use, if his mind grow torpid in old age»
Author: Samuel Johnson (Critic, Poet, Writer) | Keywords: fault, old age, torpid
«Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.»
«I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?»
