Apologies

[Joe Buck]

 Apologies
1) A stiff apology is a second insult. The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
 
Gilbert Keith Chesterton

2) Never ruin an apology with an excuse.  ~Kimberly Johnson

3) True remorse is never just a regret over consequence; it is a regret over motive.  ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

4) "An apology might help, but you can change your life without one." Robin Quivers

5) "Apologizing - a very desperate habit - one that is rarely cured." Oliver Wendell Holmes


6) "Apology is only egotism wrong side out."
Oliver Wendell Holmes

As I had commented elsewhere regarding apologies, I probably should make some for various reasons over the years, but as I'm no longer in contact with some people, I can't

I think apologies are useful when you really fuck up, but only if you trust yourself to not fuck up again.  If you're just gonna do it again is there any point?  As spongbob here pointed out, "Apology is only egotism wrong side out."
