apologize

Have you ever considered that you shouldn't pray for God to deliver you from your enemies, rather deliver you from yourself so you can not hate them?

Never apologize for correct actions.

Own your mistakes, learn from them; apologize if you have to, and then, be unapologetically you.

Never apologize for how you chose to survive.

As I'm smiling but fearing for the worse, he asks if I was in the Navy."NO. THIS IS JUST MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME.""WELL, I WAS... FOR NEARLY TWENTY YEARS."I don't know whether he wants me to apologize for impersonating a sailor, thank him for his service, or stop drooling as I melt into his eyes

You do what you have to do to give people closure; it makes them feel better and it doesn__ cost you much to do it. I__ rather apologize for something I didn__ really care about, and leave someone on Earth wishing me well, than to be stubborn and have that someone hoping that some alien would slurp out my brains. Call it karmic insurance.

Saying 'I'm sorry' is saying 'I love you' with a wounded heart in one hand and your smothered pride in the other.

Who cares who's right or wrong when the last word is a kind apology?

A truly humble apology works to part storm clouds, calm rough seas, and bring on the soft lights of dawn; it has the power to change a person's world.

The hero isn__ the one who is right, but the one who steps forward to take the blame__eserved or not__nd apologize to save a relationship.

Just say ____ sorry._ It__ not a tongue twister. It does not need repeating multiple times. The phrase is simple and short, easy to articulate. And the last time I checked, it sounded just as good__f not better__n a whisper. So just say it; say ____ sorry.

I can__ apologize for who I am any more. Even better, I have no desire to.

I would apologize for my rudeness, if I had any manners. Happily, I don't.

Never believe you're so great or important, so right or proud, that you cannot kneel at the feet of someone you hurt and offer a humble, sincere apology.

People need to stand up for their wrongs, as they stand up for their rights.

Apologize!That's the least you can do to try to make right something you have wronged.
