'''Excusitis''' is a term coined by Dr. David J. Schwartz in his book ''The Magic of Thinking Big'' to describe the tendency of underachievers to avoid taking responsibility and merely make excuses instead. An example of "excusitus" would be a [[liberal]] claiming a [[conservative]], practical, and straightforward approach to solving a societal problem will not work because the problem is supposedly too complex.

* "Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to [[love]]." - [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]]
