Edward Blake Quotes

Life is not accountable to us. We are accountable to life.

Nobody's perfect, but I hold myself accountable. I think about the choices I make because they not only affect me, they affect all of my fans and my family.

Today I acknowledge that I am not in position to judge what mistakes anyone is making or what lessons anyone needs to learn. I don’t know how far someone has come or when that person will have a breakthrough, I simply don’t know what other people should be doing. But when I think I do know, I clearly am not doing what I should be doing, which is taking responsibility for my own life.

Whether it's trivial or important, every choice has a moral aspect to it to a certain degree.

But you've got to make choices, and you're not going to be right all the time.

In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices.

Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.

Give your decisions, never your reasons; your decisions may be right, your reasons are sure to be wrong.

Our concerns aren't always appropriate or morally elevated.

I ask you to accept one thing. Hand on heart, I did what I thought was right. I may have been wrong. That's your call

Actions will be judged according to intentions.

Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right than to be responsible and wrong.

People are decisions and actions.
