I grew up writing about the paranormal, and I blame too many Saturday mornings watching ‘Scooby Doo.’
I don’t blame other people for the rap that Christians have. A lot of Christians are just mental. A lot of Christians are more concerned with telling you where you’re gonna go when you die than what you can have while you’re here.
Once upon a time, I was morbidly sensitive about the impertinence born of sociology. Taxi drivers would not stop for me after dark; white girls jogged to keep ahead of my shadow thrown at their heels by the amber street lamps. Part of me didn’t blame them, but most of me was hurt.
The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.
For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society?
We can’t blame the technology when we make mistakes.
Don’t blame America for the thousands of Cubans who have been arrested, detained, and imprisoned by Castro for peacefully protesting the regime.
Sometimes when something doesn’t go the way it should go, everyone blames the concept. Sometimes we screw up the way we implement it.

We live in a society that blames everybody else for what’s wrong.
In the hands of the ego, marriage is a prison. It is exclusive. It is a place where people are constantly reminded of their failures and limited by the energies of another person. It is rife with judgment and blame.
I love improvisation. You can’t blame it on the writers. You can’t blame it on direction. You can’t blame it on the camera guy… It’s you. You’re on. You’ve got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you’ve got.
The search for someone to blame is always successful.
We will that all men know we blame not all the lords, nor all those that are about the king’s person, nor all gentlemen nor yeomen, nor all men of law, nor all bishops, nor all priests, but all such as may be found guilty by just and true inquiry and by the law.
Hope and change? We’re not doing that anymore. They’re doing attack and blame. And so, I just think people are going to see through this. They want real leadership. They want us to get this country on the right track.
It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
Climate change, habitat destruction, extinctions – the Earth has seen it all before, thousands of years ago. And humans may have been partly to blame for many of those changes in nature, too.
Honesty allows us to live with not knowing. We do not know the full story; we do not know where we are in the story. We do not know who, ultimately, is at fault or who will carry the blame in the end.
Finding a ‘sacrificial lamb’ on whom to tag blame for complicated problems is an important instrument in the toolkit of politicians, because it deflects blame for the nation’s economic woes away from their own regulatory lapses, economic mismanagement and coddling to labor unions.
It appears fashionable these days, and almost politically correct, to blame hard-working immigrants, especially those from Mexico and Central America, for the social and economic ills of our state and nation.
I don’t care whether a role is 10 minutes long or two hours. And I don’t care whether my name is up there on top, either. Matter of fact, I’d rather have someone else get top billing; then if the picture bombs, he gets the blame, not me.
I never blame the refs as I know how tough it is, how fast the play goes, how difficult it is to keep up with the play.
In every age and every man there is something to praise as well as to blame.
We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.
Much of the discussion around how people look at women focuses on culture, as if the media is entirely to blame. As if, without magazines and commenting hosts, we’d all suddenly dress in practical overalls and only judge a person on the quality of their charity work and poetry.
You see it everywhere in football: when results are not there, then the first guy who has to go is the manager. It’s not always the managers; sometimes it’s also the players who we have to blame.
I don’t believe in astrology. The only stars I can blame for my failures are those that walk about the stage.
I won’t play any blame games for my films that didn’t work. But I’ve been working towards getting good roles. Even Abhishek Bachchan became a superstar after delivering 17 flops.
I don’t believe in luck. Everything is our doing or undoing. If something doesn’t come out right, then as a director, you have to take full responsibility. You can’t just say, ‘No, I gave this job to the music supervisor. They promised me they would do it, and they didn’t do it.’ You can’t blame anyone else.
It would be easy to blame Hollywood to say that I was typed and forced to play the same role over and over. For a while, I did. But the truth is that I knew what I was doing. I was enjoying myself. I was making money.
Sometimes when you make mistakes at big clubs you get punished. With Arsenal, people always seem to blame the defence for defeats. But I feel really safe behind them.
Blame me for capitalism. Blame me for EpiPen.
I frequently say that I never share blame, I never share credit, and I never share desserts!
I don’t blame homosexuals for being angry when people say they’ve made a choice to be gay, because they don’t.
ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so, one could blame the companies, but really, economically, they have no incentive to change things very much because they’re getting the business.
Comey made mistakes, but they weren’t made out of self-interest. To deny he wasn’t put into political positions by lawmakers on Capitol Hill or on the campaign trail would be placing blame in the wrong place.
As an adult, I can’t blame my parents any more.
And so we go over the cliff fiscally, and our Republican friends try to pin the blame on discretionary domestic spending, including spending for security. We pass budget resolutions that fall far short.
More-radical scholars insist that an inherent clash exists between science and our long-held conceptions about consciousness and moral agency: if you accept that our brains are a myriad of smaller components, you must reject such notions as character, praise, blame, and free will.
Blame is just a lazy person’s way of making sense of chaos.
If the Barbarians are destroyed, who will we then be able to blame for the bad things?
You can blame outside factors or make excuses about why things didn’t work out, but that doesn’t change anything.
I think the world is ambivalent about feminism. So I can’t blame college students. I think they’re reflecting the greater culture’s attitude toward feminism. So what I can do is, in ways that are appropriate, advocate for feminism and help the students learn what feminism is about.
Readers in general are not fond of dialect, and I don’t blame them. I’ve read books myself that I’ve had to put down because sounding out every speech gave me a headache.
Luckily, he was in the process of moving to France at the time, anyway. But if he had stayed in the States, I don’t know how he would have handled that, because it was getting pretty crazy. I mean, a celebrity which he really did not welcome. And I can’t blame him.
I’m incredibly neurotic and a control freak. I like the thought that if there’s going to be anyone to blame it’s going to be me.
People talk about drones like they’re a bad thing, but they forget there are people behind them. It’s a lot easier to blame the technology than to accept that people are a cancer on this planet.
Only a cheap politician, greedy for political gain, would try to single out one individual for blame. The fault lies not with the individual but with the system, and that system is Richard Nixon.
A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
I like to praise and reward loudly, to blame quietly.
It has become routine for national politicians to blame Europe. When something works, they claim it as their success. When something doesn’t work, then Europe is to blame.
The fact is the planet is warming right now, and it is easier to blame it on some human activity rather than saying we should better understand the whole problem and recognize there are natural conditions that are impacting this, too.
Architecture is particularly difficult for women; there’s no reason for it to be. I don’t want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male.
Being a leader requires being confident enough in your own decisions and those of your team to own them when they fail. The very best leaders take the blame but share the credit.
