The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong - and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. No religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.
Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for Halloween every day.
Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you're crazy.
Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.

As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.
