No apology is equal to the task set before it.

Apology is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is life.

Apology is the practice of extending ourselves because we value the relationship more than we value the need to be right.

An effective apology focuses more on compassion for the victim than redemption for the offender.

An apology informed is good; an apology performed is better.

Apology sends the clearest signal that we have the strength of character to reconcile ourselves with the truth.

An effective apology contains within it the answer to the question, "How am I to be held accountable?"
