We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise.
You yourself are to blame. This weeping and wailing and knocking your heads into corners [against brick walls, as it were] will not do you the least good.
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts; God is not to be blamed for it.
When the last moment arrives, praise and blame will be the same to you, to me, and to others. We are here to work, and will have to leave all when the call comes.
Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
No one is to blame for our miseries but ourselves.
Let us blame none, let us blame our own Karma.

If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
How absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Each person tries to hold himself hss and lay the blame upon somebody or something else, or even on bad luck.
Blame nobody else, do not commit the mistake of the ignorant.

Purity,patience, and preserverance are the three essentials to success, and above all: love.
