Why mundanes always insist on taking responsibility for things that aren't their fault is a mystery to me. You didn't force that cocktail down his idiotic throat.
-Jace, pg.241-
- Cassandra Clare
People everywhere enjoy believing things that they know are not true. It spares them the ordeal of thinking for themselves and taking responsibility for what they know.
- Brooks Atkinson
Optimism sprouts from the knowledge that you are in control of your own life, not your past and not those around you. Part of being in control is taking responsibility for how you feel. This means not just admitting to uncomfortable feelings but then examining your circumstances to see what can be done to change these feelings at the source.
- Augusten Burroughs
Dignity does not come from avenging insults, especially from violence that can never be justified. It comes from taking responsibility and advancing our common humanity.
- Hillary Clinton
The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
- Stephen Covey
I don't think I'm egotistical as much as I'm taking responsibility for what I'm putting out there.
- Jon Favreau
If a person is not willing to take responsibility for themselves, it does not excuse them from not taking responsibility when their bad choices affect others.
- L M Fields
Taking responsibility takes all the joy out of life, and drains a man to dust.
- Robert Jordan
Placing the blame or judgment on someone else leaves you powerless to change your experience; taking responsibility for your beliefs and judgments gives you the power to change them
- Byron Katie
Everybody blames the culture without taking responsibility.
- James Levine
In some cases, however, a person will try to avoid taking responsibility by trying to avoid making conscious choices altogether. Perhaps she cites uncontrollable passion on her part... the presence of peer pressure... or she pretends not to notice the man's actions. Whatever the case, she acts as though she is not making any choices and hence has no responsibility for the consequences.
- K A Linde
The power behind taking responsibility for your actions lies in putting an end to negative thought patterns. You no longer dwell on what went wrong or focus on whom you are going to blame. You don't waste time building roadblocks to your success. Instead, you are set free and can now focus on succeeding.
- Lorii Myers
We have so much room for improvement. Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory... of how we are taking responsibility.
- Nancy Pelosi
I think at a certain point actors need to start taking responsibility for the kinds of stories they want to tell.
- Jason Ritter
Leadership, leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.
- Mitt Romney
Only by taking responsibility for oneself, to the greatest extent possible, can one ever be free, and only a free person can make responsible choices - between right and wrong, saving and spending, giving or taking.
- Paul Ryan
You can't argue with someone who believes, or just passionately suspects, that the poet's function is not to write what he must write but, rather, to write what he would write if his life depended on his taking responsibility for writing what he must in a style designed to shut out as few of his old librarians as humanly possible.
- J D Salinger
For those who are able to work, work has to be seen as the best route out of poverty. For work is not just about more money - it is transformative. It's about taking responsibility for yourself and your family.
- Iain Duncan Smith
These things were in my mind from the first moment I entered the vocal booth. The gratitude I had for rock and roll as it pulled me through a difficult adolescence. The joy I experienced when I danced. The moral power I gleaned in taking responsibility for one's action.-- Patti Smith
- Patti Smith
People without firmness of character love to make up a fate for themselves; that relieves them of the necessity of having their own will and of taking responsibility for themselves.
- Ivan Turgenev
In a multipolar world, there must be more powers capable of taking responsibility, the U.S. and Europe must be able to unite to achieve peace in the Middle East.
- Dominique De Villepin
Government is an unnecessary evil. Human beings, when accustomed to taking responsibility for their own behavior, can cooperate on a basis of mutual trust and helpfulness.
- Fred Woodworth
I look at modern life and I see people not taking responsibility for their lives. The temptation to blame, to find external causes to one's own issues is something that is particularly modern. I know that personally I find that sense of responsibility interesting.
