The ones who count are those persons who - though they may be of little renown - respond to and are responsible for the continuation of the living spirit.

Martin Buber

We may not all be equally guilty. But we are all equally responsible for building a decent and just society.

Ruby Bridges

Few are guilty, but all are responsible.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer.

William Blackstone

It is not the courage to be that we must develop as much as the courage to become. We are responsible for our destiny. The meaning of life is not located in some hidden crevice in the womb of nature but is created by free persons, who are aware that they are responsible for their own futures and have the courage to take this project into their own hands.

Paul Kurtz

A wound in the friendship of young persons, as in the bark of young trees, may be so grown over as to leave no scar. The case is very different in regard to old persons and old timber. The reason of this may be accountable from the decline of the social passions, and the prevalence of spleen, suspicion, and rancor towards the latter part of life.

William Shenstone

Ministers may not be responsible for administrative errors, but they are responsible for major policy blunders.

John McDonnell

You may not be responsible for being down, but you must be responsible for getting up.

Jesse Jackson

Because He freely owned my guilt I may freely own my sin. Guilty as charged, and yet, not guilty at all.

R. C. Sproul, Jr.

To be right and overruled is not forgiven to persons in responsible positions.

Barbara Tuchman

So I was still guilty. And if I was not guilty because one cannot be guilty of betraying a criminal, then I was guilty of having loved a criminal.

Bernhard Schlink

It is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent one to death.

Maimonides

In any free society where terrible wrongs exist, some are guilty - all are responsible.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Marriage may be polygamic, monogamic, polyandric, complex according to the Oneida pattern, or other, and is true marriage (I do not say perfect marriage) so long as it promotes the happiness of the persons married, and the procreation, support, and education of children, and so long as it is founded on the joint free contract of the persons married, and remains under the sanction of the organic society of which those persons are members.

William Batchelder Greene

Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One's born and at once one is guilty.

Hermann Hesse

Responsibility is a unique concept. It can only reside and inhere in a single individual. You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you. You may disclaim it, but you cannot divest yourself of it. If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.

Hyman Rickover
