People who seek to blame the times or conditions they live in are really
trying to avoid taking the blame them- selves: It strikes me that the prime minister needs to be reminded that those who accuse the times are but excusing themselves. The prov- erb was first recorded in 1732 by Thomas Fuller in Gnomologia.
Proverb expressing similar mean- ings: he who excuses himself accuses himself.
