It is wise to direct your anger towards problems — not people, to focus your energies on answers — not excuses. – William Arthur Ward

To offer the complexities of life as an excuse for not addressing oneself to the simpler, more manageable (trivial) aspects of daily existence is a perversity often indulged in by artists, husbands, intellectuals — and critics of the Womens Movement. – Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. – Don Wilder and Bill Rechin
