Excuses

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.  I don't believe in circumstances.  The people who get on in this world are the people who  get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." - George Bernard Shaw

"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you, never excuse yourself" - Henry Ward Beecher.

"Excuses are the tools of the incompetent, and those who specialize in them seldom get far."

"For many people, an excuse is better than an achievement because an achievement, no matter how great, leaves you having to prove yourself again in the future; but an excuse can last for life."
