A Chi Fa Male, Mai Mancano Scuse – Italian Proverb

March 18, 2025 By Larry Aiello

I love this Italian saying: A chi fa male, mai mancano scuse – He who does evil, is never short of an excuse.

Unfortunately, there are those that are never happy and have to thrust their critiques and negative energy onto others. They are counting curses instead of blessings. And they want to tear you down.

This fact of life is coincides with this Italian proverb.

Don Shula, famous American football coach also had a similar quote:

The superior man blames himself, the inferior man blames others
