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

Apology calls for a willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the wronged party and the inherent value of the relationship, not for what it brings to you but for what you can bring to it.

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

One of the most useful tasks of apology is to bring home to us how keenly, honestly, and painfully past generations pursued aims that now seem to us wrong and disgraceful. It behooves us to consider if future geenrations will similarly regard the aims we most defend today.

The purpose of apology is to extend ourselves in such a way that relationships become deeper, and life becomes richer and more human in the process.

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

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