Top Self Accountability Quotes

Self Accountability Quotes By Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The author concedes that the body of Christ may often judge wrongly , but he says that the judgment of the body as a whole is more sound that is one's ability to judge self objectively. — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Self Accountability Quotes By Vishwas Chavan

Accountability and self-responsibility are critical to our success in personal, professional and public life. However, we often look for those character traits in others, rather than inculcating them in ourselves. — Vishwas Chavan

Self Accountability Quotes By Kenny Smith

It is man's intrinsic and irreducible self-responsibility to humanize himself, to exercise his entire range of rational and moral resources to raise his mode of being and seeing and acting above not just that of animals, but also above that of the majority of subhuman (never to be self-realized) humans who will never draw themselves into a self-punishing position of focal self-diagnosis and self-accountability. — Kenny Smith

Self Accountability Quotes By Bell Hooks

As more people have found the courage to break through shame and speak about woundedness in their lives, we are now subjected to a mean-spirited cultural response, where all talk of woundedness is mocked. The belittling of anyone's attempt to name a context within which they were wounded, were made a victim, is a form of shaming. It is psychological terrorism. Shaming breaks our hearts. All individuals who are genuinely seeking well-being within a healing context realize that it is important to that process not to make being a victim a stance of pride or a location from which to simply blame others. We need to speak our shame and our pain courageously in order to recover. Addressing woundedness is not about blaming others; however, it does allow individuals who have been, and are, hurt to insist on accountability and responsibility both from themselves and from those who were the agents of their suffering as well as those who bore witness. Constructive confrontation aids our healing. — Bell Hooks

Self Accountability Quotes By Kilroy J. Oldster

A person begins to live a moral life when they cease asking what life will provide them and begins to determine what he or she expects from oneself. — Kilroy J. Oldster

Self Accountability Quotes By Gary Hopkins

When a bully is held accountable for his actions, his future actions will change. Bad behavior only continues for those who allow it. — Gary Hopkins

Self Accountability Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The realization of the self is only possible if one is productive, if one can give birth to one's own potentialities. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Self Accountability Quotes By Jim Highsmith

In a self-organized team, individuals take accountability for managing their own workload, shift work among themselves based on need and best fit, and take responsibility for team effectiveness. Team members have considerable leeway in how they deliver results, they are self-disciplined in their accountability for those results, and they work within a flexible framework. — Jim Highsmith

Self Accountability Quotes By Phong Thong Dang

Aikido is budo. The goal of aikido is the development of personal, social, and spiritual awareness, responsibility, and accountability through the discipline and practice of a martial art. Aikido, empty-handed and with weapons, is the training of the heart and mind for self-defense, if necessary, and for physical conditioning. — Phong Thong Dang

Self Accountability Quotes By Michael Muhammad Knight

If you ask Muslim women why they cover up, ninety-nine percent of them will say it's to avoid arousing men. Fuck that, where's your self-accountability? — Michael Muhammad Knight

Self Accountability Quotes By Kamal Ravikant

Reach out, share your truth, tell someone, "This is who I am. This is what I stand for. Hold me to it." Often, we'll do far more for another than we will do for ourselves. — Kamal Ravikant

Self Accountability Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

When I'm at the bottom looking up, the main question may not be 'how do I get out of this hole?' In reality, the main question might be 'how do I get rid of the shovel that I used to dig it? — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Self Accountability Quotes By Neil Postman

The question is not, Does or doesn't public schooling create a public? The question is, What kind of public does it create? A conglomerate of self-indulgent consumers? Angry, soulless, directionless masses? Indifferent, confused citizens? Or a public imbued with confidence, a sense of purpose, a respect for learning, and tolerance? The answer to this question has nothing whatever to do with computers, with testing, with teacher accountability, with class size, and with the other details of managing schools. The right answer depends on two things and two things alone: the existence of shared narratives and the capacity of such narratives to provide an inspired reason for schooling. — Neil Postman

Self Accountability Quotes By Kevin Allen

As buoyancy is not contrary to other characteristics of leadership, including decisiveness, accountability and performance standards, I don't ever think it can be self-defeating. — Kevin Allen

Self Accountability Quotes By Haroutioun Bochnakian

Until now, human organization could only be based upon something negative which could not be conquered: SCARCITY, and something false: PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY... No wonder instead of producing stability, it produced the exact opposite.
The current human organization based upon dealing with the consequences of scarcity and being considered responsible for our individual characteristics which we could never have chosen (our nature, our nurture, our "soul", and all the choices they engender), will always lead to an irrational, hence unstable human organization causing perpetual conflicts, which is no organization at all.

Today, we have the luxury to initiate a rational self-organization based upon two positives:
-our HUMAN CONSENSUS; our common desires shared by all, and
-the SCIENTIFIC PROJECT to achieve them. — Haroutioun Bochnakian

Self Accountability Quotes By Robert Montgomerie

At best a practitioner of the Cult of Happy will accept in terms of personal accountability is that they were "too negative." So if people won't be accountable for their own actions, there is little reason to believe that they will be accountable for the actions they perpetrate against others. Similar to a narcissist they will, through their own mental engineering, retreat either to their particular "Cult of Happy Dogma" internally, or to the insulating bubble of like minded followers who will offer reinforcement, similar to narcissistic supply, saying, "There's nothing wrong with you, that person is just negative and you don't need that in your life. — Robert Montgomerie

Self Accountability Quotes By Simon Mainwaring

The keys to brand success are self-definition, transparency, authenticity and accountability. — Simon Mainwaring

Self Accountability Quotes By Erri De Luca

Sometimes to take two steps in a row, one after the other, I need to make a contract with myself. — Erri De Luca

Self Accountability Quotes By Rob Liano

Your thoughts will make you a victor or a victim. — Rob Liano

Self Accountability Quotes By Oliver DeMille

Intrapreneurs consider them-selves on a mission to help society, to give it what it needs and wants, to truly serve others and improve themselves. Like all producers, they believe in a deep accountability, refuse to assign blame, don't believe in failure, and give their heart and sould to truly serve the customer and benefit society. — Oliver DeMille

Self Accountability Quotes By Shannon L. Alder

There will always be people afraid of the monsters in the night. They are usually the ones that look for them because they have proven they exist in themselves. — Shannon L. Alder

Self Accountability Quotes By Mike Fishbein

I got an accountability partner to call me everyday just to make sure I publish something. Accountability works because it adds social pressure to otherwise self-directed work. — Mike Fishbein

Self Accountability Quotes By David D. Burns

Surprisingly, it's forgiveness, not guilt, that increases accountability. Researchers have found that taking a self-compassionate point of view on a personal failure makes people more likely to take personal responsibility for the failure than when they take a self-critical point of view. They also are more willing to receive feedback and advice from others, and more likely to learn from the experience. — David D. Burns

Self Accountability Quotes By Henry Rollins

I think self-reliance and self-responsibility and self-accountability will help you as a parent, a teacher, as a citizen as a friend. — Henry Rollins

Self Accountability Quotes By Kerry E. Wagner

You don't have to worry about burning bridges, if you're building your own — Kerry E. Wagner

Self Accountability Quotes By Brandon Stanton

Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you're grown up. Growing up means being patient, holding your temper, cutting out the self-pity, and quitting with the righteous indignation.'
'Why do so many people seem to love righteous indignation?'
'Because if you can prove you're a victim, all rules are off. You can lash out at people. You don't have to be accountable for anything. — Brandon Stanton

Self Accountability Quotes By Elizabeth Gilbert

I have a rigid self-accountability. You have to work hard. — Elizabeth Gilbert

Self Accountability Quotes By Jim Highsmith

Self-discipline is also built on competence, persistence, and the willingness to assume accountability for results. Competence is more than skill and ability; it's attitude and experience. — Jim Highsmith

Self Accountability Quotes By Darren Shan

There are a lot of black-hearted, mean-spirited bastards in the world. It's important that we hold them to acount. But always remember that you might be the most black-hearted and mean-spirited in the lot, so hold yourself the most accountable of all. — Darren Shan

Self Accountability Quotes By Nuhu Ribadu

When corruption is king, there is no accountability of leadership and no trust in authority. Society devolves to the basic units of family and self, to the basic instincts of getting what you can when you can, because you don't believe anything better will ever come along. And when the only horizon is tomorrow, how can you care about the kind of nation you are building for your children and your grandchildren? How can you call on your government to address what ails society and build stronger institutions? — Nuhu Ribadu

Self Accountability Quotes By Gautama Buddha

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. — Gautama Buddha

Self Accountability Quotes By Jim Wallis

Faith can cut in so many ways. If you're penitent and not triumphal, it can move us to repentance and accountability and help us reach for something higher than ourselves. That can be a powerful thing, a thing that moves us beyond politics as usual, like Martin Luther King did. But when it's designed to certify our righteousness - that can be a dangerous thing. Then it pushes self criticism aside. There's no reflection. — Jim Wallis

Self Accountability Quotes By Marion G. Romney

The principle of self-reliance grows out of a fundamental doctrine of the Church, that of agency. Just as each individual is accountable for his choices and actions in spiritual matters, so also is he accountable in temporal matters. It is through our own efforts and decisions that we earn our way in this life. While the Lord will magnify us in both subtle and dramatic ways, he can only guide our footsteps when we move our feet. Ultimately, our own actions determine our blessings or lack of them. It is a direct consequence of both agency and accountability. — Marion G. Romney

Self Accountability Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

The problem is not that we don't recognize the truth when we hear it. The problem is that we don't want to recognize what the truth might mean for us if we hear it. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Self Accountability Quotes By Loretta Malandro

When you can truly understand how others experience your behavior, without defending or judging, you then have the ability to produce a breakthrough in your leadership and team. Everything starts with your self-awareness. You cannot take charge without taking accountability, and you cannot take accountability without understanding how you avoid it. — Loretta Malandro

Self Accountability Quotes By Garry Wills

Accountability is the essence of democracy. If people do not know what their government is doing, they cannot be truly self-governing. The national security state assumes the government secrets are too important to be shared, that only those in the know can see classified information, that only the president has all the facts, that we must simply trust that our rulers of acting in our interest. — Garry Wills

Self Accountability Quotes By Roger Scruton

In The Theory of the Moral Sentiments, Smith emphasized that trust, responsibility and accountability exist only in a society that respects them, and only where the spontaneous fruit of human sympathy is allowed to ripen. It is where sympathy, duty and virtue achieve their proper place that self-interest leads, by an invisible hand, to a result that benefits everyone. And this means that people can best satisfy their interests only in a context where they are also on occasion moved to renounce them. Beneath every society where self-interest pays off, lies a foundation of self-sacrifice. — Roger Scruton

Self Accountability Quotes By Stephen Richards

Your life depends entirely on your reactions to the accountability that you are faced with. — Stephen Richards

Self Accountability Quotes By Caroline Myss

Self-examination is the process of accountability to your soul ... It is far better to "become" your truth than to speak your truth. Self-examination is the practice of becoming your truth. — Caroline Myss

Self Accountability Quotes By Shannon L. Alder

Fearlessness is not what you do to win, but what you don't do. When you love yourself as much as your God, you won't see other people as the source of your pain. Rather, you will see who you have become because you honestly believed that your chains would be broken through hatred, instead of kindness. — Shannon L. Alder

Self Accountability Quotes By Stephen Covey

Trust is the glue that holds everything together. It creates the environment in which all of the other elements win-win stewardship agreements, self-directing individuals and teams, aligned structures and systems, and accountability can flourish. — Stephen Covey

Self Accountability Quotes By Augusten Burroughs

Where this healthy self-empathy turns into a malignant self-pity is at the arrival of resentment. "Fuck everybody. Nobody gives a shit about me. Fuck them all." That is self-pity and it is dangerous because it signals a lack of accountability for one's mental state and, worse, the outcome of one's life. — Augusten Burroughs

Self Accountability Quotes By Auliq Ice

It should be some kind of goal to be absolutely clear about your past experiences and have let them all go and accepted them in full. — Auliq Ice

Self Accountability Quotes By Antonella Gambotto-Burke

Secret elisions within families are suddenly revealed by self-execution, and just as quickly sheeted with excuses, blame, and counter-blame. But sense is made of the world only through relationship between action and reaction, symptom and cause. No change is possible without analysis of accountability. — Antonella Gambotto-Burke

Self Accountability Quotes By Amit Ray

Leadership grows like tall trees. It needs both toughness and flexibility - toughness for accountability - flexibility to adapt changes with a compassionate & caring heart for self and others. — Amit Ray
