When we apologize we end our struggle with history.

No apology is equal to the task set before it.

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.

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

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.
