This was answered quite nicely 2 months ago, the answer would be that it is said to perhaps come from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac. It has many versions online. The one I have heard several times is:
“Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build monuments to nothing. For those who specialize in them shall never be good at anything else.”
In the future, you should search the resolved questions, before repeating one.

"We have been born of risen apes, no longer fallen angels, and the apes have been armed killers to boot. And so what we could ask your self at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties in spite of the fact that they may well be properly worth; our symphonies besides the undeniable fact that seldom they may well be performed; our non violent acres, besides the undeniable fact that generally they may well be switched over to battlefields; our desires besides the undeniable fact that infrequently they may well be achieved. The miracle of guy isn't how a strategies he has sunk yet how magnificently he has risen. we are person-friendly between the celebs by utilising our poems, no longer our corpses." ~ Robert Ardrey

Excuses are the tools with which persons with no purpose in view build for themselves great monuments of nothing.”
“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else”
“It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.”
