There is no excuse for not trying. — © Barack Obama
There is no excuse for not trying.
There's no more of an excuse for blaming other people or the world for at least not trying what you should be trying.
Trying simply provides an excuse for not doing.
Everybody hates dependence, and that's why couples are continuously fighting, not knowing why they are fighting. They have to meditate over it, they have to contemplate over it, why they are fighting. Everything is just an excuse to fight. If you change one excuse, another excuse will be found; if no excuse is left then excuses will be invented, but somehow the fight has to be there.
Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to a personal failure.
The thought, 'I can't' is a lie. We use it to excuse ourselves from trying.
I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying.' I tried with all my heart.
The only good excuse for not succeeding is DEATH! Unless you're trying to be a ghost. Then it's LIFE!
Excuse me, pray." Without that excuse I would not have known there was anything amiss.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse for accused criminals, and it cannot be an excuse for members of Congress.
Ignorance of the law of irreducibility was no excuse. I could no longer excuse myself with the claim that I didn't know the law -- for knowledge of self and of the world is the law that, even though unattainable, cannot be broken, and no one can excuse himself by saying that he doesn't know it. . . . The renewed originality of the sin is this: I have to carry out my unknowing, I shall be sinning originally against life.
I could point out that it isn't always easy knowing who you are and what you want, because then you have no excuse for not trying to get it.
In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.
If I didn't feel that I was doing something or trying to do something for others, then I would have very little excuse for the life that I lead.
When he [the slothful person] is pressed to be diligent, either in his worldly affairs or in the business of religion, this is his excuse (and a sorry excuse it is as bad as none).
If a person is stupid, we excuse him by saying that he cannot help it; but if we attempted to excuse in precisely the same way the person who is bad, we should be laughed at.
