Blame quotes speak directly to the fruitlessness of casting aspirations unto others rather than taking responsibility for one's actions or behaviors.
To cast others into the role of the blameworthy is to refuse to look towards a resolution of the issue, problem or circumstance.
As well, while a person may be in a period of time when all circumstances or attempts to move forward seem blocked, it is only when that person gives up does
and blames everyone else around for his/her shortcomings that failure rests squarely upon their shoulders.
The issues and circumstances that we all face have no power in our lives unless we give them the power to control our thoughts and actions.
Move forward in life refusing to shower blame onto others; instead, take action, any action to travel through and beyond that which seems to hamper forward motion.
Let these blame quotes and sayings remind you that placing blame onto another does not help resolve a situation.
It's too easy to criticize a man when he's out of favour, and to make him shoulder the blame for everybody else's mistakes.
Leo Tolstoy
Forgiveness Poems
While blame may be attributed to a garden that abounds with weeds, no such blame can be extended to a person who cherishes and nourishes a friendship.
Sam Fickinsen
Friendship Poems
"The next time blame threatens to sneak up on you, try a compliment
instead of a rebuke, encouragement rather than a black eye.
Offer praise in lieu of a lawsuit. Instead of muttering and complaining,
offer a clear, easily received, constructive solution."
Milton Katselas, Dreams into Action Poems of Encouragement
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you
don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not
doing well. ... Yet if we haveproblems with our friends or family, we blame the other
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will
grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive
effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument.
Thich Nhat Hanh
