Description: Now, other countries have their own reasons for not wanting to get involved. Let me be clear. They're in some ways using the Bush administration as an alibi. But it is essential for us to be a leader in this sphere, of course to restore our standing and our leadership in the world. The recovery's going to take some time.

Bee Wilson

In the right circumstances, I'm a big fan of eating alone. Often, on a Sunday evening, I go to a yoga class whose charm is largely that it gives me an alibi to avoid cooking family supper for once. I return to have boiled eggs and soldiers in silence with a book. Bliss.

British Journalist

Jesse White

I'm a disciplinarian. And I've always been disciplined. I like to be on time. If I have a job to do, I'm going to see it from its beginning to its conclusion. No excuses, no alibis. That's how I run my life. It's called self-tough love.

Charles M. Schwab

The men who miss success have two general alibis: 'I'm not a genius' is one; the other, 'There aren't the opportunities today there used to be.' Neither excuse holds. The first is beside the point; the second is altogether wrong.

American Businessman

Peter Handke

Morality is the least of my concerns. To me, morality in a society that - however moral its pose - is hierarchically organized is simply a lie, an alibi for the inequalities that exist in society.

Austrian Novelist

Albert Camus

It is necessary to fall in love... if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.

French Philosopher

Emo Philips

People always ask me, 'Where were you when Kennedy was shot?' Well, I don't have an alibi.

American Comedian

Will Rogers

All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.

American Actor

Ciro Immobile

Players often look for alibis - it's easy to give the blame to others.

Italian Athlete

Andre Aciman

Some people have an identity. I have an alibi. I have a shadow self.

American Writer

Jerry Orbach

The term 'alibi' is primarily used in legal contexts to refer to evidence for innocence.

Primarily Legal

'Alibi' doesn't just mean you were elsewhere; it must prove you couldn't commit the crime.

Beyond Presence

An alibi can be false; questioning its validity is common in legal disputes.

Not Always True

In casual speech, 'alibi' can simply mean any excuse or reason given.

Colloquial Use

Outside of court, an 'alibi' doesn't prove anything, it's just a claim.

Not Legally Binding

People may be skeptical of an alibi if it seems made up or too convenient.

 Now, other countries have their own reasons for not wanting to get involved. Let me be clear. They're in some ways using the Bush administration as an alibi. But it is essential for us to be a leader in this sphere, of course to restore our standing and our leadership in the world. The recovery's going to take some time.
