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

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

Apology is the most courageous gesture we can make to ourselves.

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.

Apology is both transactional, in that it restores what has been broken to what it was before, and transformational, in that it creates opportunities that didn't exist before.

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

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.
