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

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.

Progress occurs one apology at a time.

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

Accepting the apology signals the acknowledgment of a need to move forward, but not necessarily together.

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

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