“Excuses change nothing, but make everyone feel better.” — Mason Cooley Quote

Excuses change nothing, but make everyone feel better.

My mind is led astray by every faint rustle.

The discontented believe that their regrets are about the past.

Lying just for the fun of it is either art or pathology.

Bad faith likes discourse on friendship and loyalty.

This was the way I was brought up to think of politics, that politics was to do with ethics, it was to do with responsibility, it was to do with service, so I think I was conditioned to think like that, and I'm too old to change now.

It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.

You can't change the world alone - you will need some help - and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong coxswain to guide them.

You must change in order to survive.

I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.
