“An excuse is not a good reason, and a good reason does not give you an excuse”

A great clip from the movie Kingdom of Heaven.

“..even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power – your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, ‘But I was told by others to do thus.’ Or that, ‘Virtue was not convenient at the time.’ This will not suffice. Remember that.”
