Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself—and be lenient to everybody else.

We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.

The individual is not accountable to society for his actions, insofar as these concern the interests of no person but himself.

Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.

He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is halfway there. He who blames no one has arrived.

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.

Reality doesn't go away when it is ignored.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

You cannot subsidize irresponsibility and expect people to become more responsible.

You and only you are responsible for your life choices and decisions.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.

In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.

Champions take responsibility. When the ball is coming over the net, you can be sure I want the ball.

We are all one family in the world. Building a community that empowers everyone to attain their full potential through each of us respecting each other's dignity, rights and responsibilities makes thee world a better place to live.

Next to the assumption of power is the responsibility of relinquishing it.

Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself.

It is the responsibility of leadership to work intelligently with what is given, and not to waste time fantasizing about a world of flawless people and perfect choices.
