Every one puts his fault on the times.

Understand the thought

Meaning in plain English

People may blame the age or circumstances around them to avoid examining their own mistakes. Consider what was within your control as well as external influences.

What the words are saying

The times means the surrounding conditions or habits of an age. The proverb criticises an excuse that turns every personal fault into a result of the wider situation. Circumstances can influence behaviour, but that influence does not always explain a particular choice. The saying can prompt a fair review of what someone knew, what options were available and how they acted. Every one is a broad exaggeration rather than a description of all people. The useful lesson is shared examination of personal and external causes, not dismissing real social pressures or treating every failure as entirely individual.

Everyday example

A team member blames a rushed workplace culture for a missed check, then recognises that the agreed checklist was available and decides to use it next time.

When to use it

Use it when a general complaint about circumstances is preventing examination of a specific choice.
