Fault Quotes

It is the weak point. A break in the system. Or a flaw in character. It can be a responsibility. Or just an inherent defect. Fault is not always about intentionality. It can be a deficiency. A shortcoming. A **point from which problems seep**. Acknowledging it is a first step towards reform. Denying it is stagnation. These sayings address the different aspects of fault. From responsibility to deficiency.

I had neither the good sense nor the good feeling to know that this was all my fault, and that if I had been easier with Joe, Joe would have been easier with me. I felt impatient of him and out of temper with him; in which condition he heaped coals of fire on my head.
