People spend too much time finding other people to blame too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being and not enough energy putting themselves on the line growing out of the past and getting on with their lives.

I'm of the opinion that the technology is in a place where there's really no excuse not to just make your movie.

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.

The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength.

One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while.

Companies to date have often used the excuse that they are only beholden to their shareholders but we need shareholders to think of themselves as stakeholders in the well being of society as well.

The concept of the 'good ol' days' must be one of our society's biggest delusions top reasons for depression as well as most often used excuse for lack of success.

Usually terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all but just terrible things.

There's no excuse to be bored. Sad yes. Angry yes. Depressed yes. Crazy yes. But there's no excuse for boredom ever.

It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me.
