Fault Quotations
You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife?
Benjamin Franklin
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Benjamin Franklin
Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.
Benjamin Franklin
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.
William Shakespeare
Our DNA is as a consumer company - for that individual customer who's voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That's who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it's not up to par, it's our fault, plain and simply.
Steve Jobs
I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?
Yogi Berra
Don't find fault, find a remedy.
Henry Ford
Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.
Alexander Pope
Never find fault with the absent.
Alexander Pope
If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.
Richard Bach
