When I accept an apology it means that the part in me that honors our relationship honors the part in you that honors our relationship.

Apology may start as a feeling, a desire to make matters right, but it requires a commitment to move that desire into practice, to actually take on the great courageous task of showing compassion to others.

You can't talk your way out of a situation you acted you way into.

We rarely wrestle with apology and lose.

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

Apology may be scorned, but it retains its inherent value.

You don't have to see eye-to-eye to walk hand-in-hand. You just have to want to go in the same direction.
