Fault Quotations | Page 2

He was a rare one: only 5 feet 7 inches tall, a lawyer and a combat veteran of the Korean War as a Marine officer. Eddie came from Washington in a trade in 1960 and ran the team in the first years while Don Meredith was learning. He was such a fantastic ball handler that even with sorry protection and the defensive line crashing in on him he threw a lot of beautiful long passes. The ball would fly out of the crowd like a mortar shell and sail 50 yards downfield. Eddie did everything by the numbers. If the receiver wasn't there, we knew whose fault it was.

He's had a great career; I think he's done a lot for pro football. But I don't think he deserves to have anything. I think you have to earn what you get. He's had a great career, but it's not my fault that he hasn't been to the Big One. Hopefully we can take care of him this week.

He has not been at fault in anything

He would have been a great part of the team. If you look at the times those guys skated, he would have probably been a deciding factor there. (But) I don't fault him for it.

Here's the thing about Kelly Clarkson. At the end of the day, she's an amazing singer, and you can't fault her for that.

Whatever nuances he might fault us for neglecting, it is not an impressive record for someone who aspires to become commander in chief in this time of testing for our country,

He looked fine out there and I can't fault him for any of their goals.

Joe should definitely be near the top of the list as far as guys being considered. It's not his fault we don't score a bunch of runs for him. He could have 15 wins.

I went out to shoot with (my dad) and he let me know straight out what I was doing wrong and how to fix it. It's mostly my fault for getting down on myself. My teammates have tried to pick me up the whole way.

My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain.

I was disappointed because I don't think that was the right thing to do, ... It was partly the umpire's fault because it was evident the guy was throwing at him.

Look at the auto industry. Do people fault Jaguar for selling fewer cars than Dodge? ... Opera in some ways is a Cadillac browser. You have a lot of extra features built in. The volume might be with the Caravans and the SUVs, but that doesn't mean there isn't money to be made on the other vehicles. Of course, the analogy here is with Web browsers.

That fault wasn't even recognized 40 years ago when the existing Seattle geology map was produced.

I was a little surprised. You can't fault Kentucky. They came up with the big plays. They stuck it to us.

Jeffrey catches all the criticism. But he doesn't do anything I don't tell him to do. I have to know everything he's doing. I have to know what plays he's calling and working on. So it's as much my fault as anybody's. But nobody is going to believe it, because it's your kid.

I might be scaring him. Maybe it's my fault to go there and air him out. I might take the blame because all of a sudden I went out to air him out and said not good stuff to him. I might surprise him and scare him and all of a sudden he loses what he has. It's maybe my fault to do what I did.

I'm still perplexed, ... I don't fault the police department and I don't fault the prosecution. In a case like this, you have to rely on the company.

It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined, manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor... No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.'

I thought it was a good doubles. Obviously it was very tight and the third set was crucial. After that they got a bit of momentum going into the fourth set but I can't fault the effort or the performance from Greg and Andy. I don't think you can criticize the guys when they give that much.

I think Mel and I both did a good job trying not to let her catch it, and when she did catch it, just not letting her see the basket. In the second half, she sort of stopped going as hard ? no fault of her own ? but she was tired, I think, because we did such a good job on her.

I was kind of air-headed. I was put into a situation where I didn't have a clear mind about it. That's my fault also, not knowing what I was getting myself into.

I think the aim - and certainly the aim of what I've tried to do since leaving - is not political and certainly not a witch hunt at individuals. It's to try to direct our attention at what I believe is a fundamental fault analysis that we must now examine.

Roanoke Rapids just put a bat on the ball, and our defense didn't make plays; you can't fault the pitcher for that. Our heads just weren't in the game.

Overall I can't fault the kids' effort. We played hard. Our goal was to play Friday. We wanted to play Friday night, but we did get to play all three days. There was great fan support. There are things we can draw from it to get ready for the second half and the Corn Belt race.

Overall, I was very happy with the way we responded. We were either going to come out angry and upset and get that bad taste out of our mouth, or we were going to come out overconfident since we got (Glenwood) by 40 last time. I told them I wanted to see the first team - the one that was angry and wanted to take it out on somebody. It wasn't Glenwood's fault that we lost, they just happened to be next up on the schedule.

Our fault has not been impatience, the truth is, our patience should have been exhausted weeks and months and even years ago,

I was upset and I let it vent. In actuality, if anyone is at fault it's me. Our defense broke down, but I'm capable of making those saves and I didn't. I talked to the boys about (the comments) and they said it's all right, don't worry about it. It's a big deal, but I hope we're past it.

I think part of it was that she was trying to create for her teammates. Yeah, she's a scorer and that's what she does, but you can't fault a kid for trying to be unselfish.

it is not the fault of the mouse but of the one who offers him the cheese

It isn't anyone's fault it is just bad luck. The crew did a great job this weekend. I would have liked to have been able to run the race but that is the way things go sometimes.

I think that's where the problem starts - is that we have put the onus on women to protect themselves instead of teaching men and boys that this is inappropriate behavior. If you focus only on the women, then you're doing what is called victim-blaming - and saying, somehow it's your fault that you got raped, and you need to prevent it.

I think tonight we just did not play very smart at all. We were in a good position from our batting perspective but there were some things with our bowling as well, they were all combined. It was not any one person's fault or any one person's non-performance, it was a combination of a number of things.

It is a little bit our fault that this team has been viewed a little bit less than that because of the high expectations we all had.

I think we haven't had a real serious national debate in this country as to what this issue is about, ... And we're dealing with kind of general slogans and images, a great deal of fear and panic. But I think that the Democrats are very much at fault in not generating a genuine debate. And I think the administration has been disingenuous in its argumentation.

I thought our defense overall wasn't where it needed to be. We needed a good start tonight and we just didn't get that. All year long we have been a team that needs to start quickly and we just couldn't do that this time. Some of that is our fault and some of that is Mt. Pleasant doing a good job against us.

I thought our effort was sound today. It was an even hockey game. We had a game plan going in and we wanted to execute and bring that necessary energy and focus to give ourselves a chance to win. I thought we did that tonight. I can't fault the effort and intensity of our players.

We never said and I will not tell you that Nathaniel is not responsible for what happened here. His parents aren't at fault, the school is not at fault, the gun is not at fault. Nathaniel is at fault and only Nathaniel is at fault.

We'll play when we get there, I guess. It's not our fault that we can't get down there. You'd love it if this game had been in the day where you could have a little leeway in case there's bad weather. Obviously the conference is not worried about that, so we're just going to go down there and play and hopefully we can get down there in time.

We have borne the brunt again of a dropped catch. The bowlers toiled hard and I can't fault them for that. They tried to take wickets all the time.

I was proud of our team's effort. There were a couple of plays that I thought we botched there at the end that could've given us a better chance. But, I can't fault our guys' effort and how they competed. Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to and J.J. made all of the big plays.

We don't suggest that because San Francisco citizens live on top of an earthquake fault that they should be moved, ... The question of whether New Orleans should be rebuilt, one of the great cities of this country, is not really a question in my mind.

We're close friends. I told him this wasn't my fault and it wasn't his fault. He said he's happy I'm here. It's nothing personal. We both just want to win.

Well I'm a little disappointed right now because we're having some hotel problems because there seems to be some other (events) booked. I don't know if that's the Big Ten's fault or Indianapolis' fault but that's a little concerning.

We played as well as we've played all year long defensively for one half, but it's my fault that after being evenly matched in the first half we didn't get it done,

We had a major electrical fault last night which meant we couldn't produce the paper as we usually do.

That was just her assumption, you can fault her for it. You're on your honeymoon, you're having fun, you're letting your hair down. It's downtime.

That would have been our fault - it comes down to that.

We've staved it off for 15 years, but we have to pay the piper -- the time is here. To use money just to keep a dwindling school alive is not wise.

The only way to security for Israel and a humane life for Palestinians in their own land is political. No matter where the fault for past negotiating failures lies, there is no other path.

We've been holding back and I thought maybe our intensity was down a little bit. That's my fault from trying to rest them and everything, but they reacted well. This a great tune-up for state.

We played well. We're finally starting to come together. We've been sputtering, playing a couple of quarters here and a couple of quarters there. Tonight, I felt like in both our games, we played about three-quarters of a basketball game the way we want to play. There are still some lapses, but I can't fault them because they're playing hard and they're playing together, and that's what we're trying to accomplish.

The penalties were our fault and the turnovers were bad decisions. You've got to hold onto the ball. We had poor field position all day because of our own doing. Special teams were ragged all day on our return units.

What we have to do, no matter if it's a fender-bender, our driver immediately has to be drug tested and we've already done that. Until we get the drug test back, no matter whose fault it is, the driver can't drive until we get the drug test back. That's standard protocol with any accident you have. It's automatic.

Whether I hit well or not, I feel comfortable here. Last year I didn't feel comfortable here. Mentally I was off. It's my fault for handling the trade the way I did. This year I feel comfortable from at-bat to at-bat. Last year, I felt I was just pinch-hitting a few times.

There are a lot of people who will not make a claim even if the loss isn't their fault and is well over the deductible. What's disturbing is that you're paying a premium that is calculated to cover the risk that you actually use the policy.

Whose fault was 9/11? It was all us.

We put some rookies in some tough situations. The rookies had to play some veteran minutes for me tonight. I can't fault them, they gave me their best.

Where I would fault President Bush the most was that, in the wake of 9/11, he motivated our military, but he didn't call the nation into a state of war. And he didn't explain that this would take though a communal effort against common foe.

Early on in the game, we got some momentum. I moved some girls in for them to get a chance to score some, and I probably broke the rhythm a little bit. But I can't fault anything they did.

Concentrate and think upon the problem in mind until a satisfactory conclusion is reached, and then finally go ahead. If you have made a mistake, all right. Never find fault with a man because he has made a mistake. It is only a fool that makes the same mistake the second time.
