Apology Quotations
Maturity is the ability to reap without apology and not complain when things don't go well.
Jim Rohn
Our systems, perhaps, are nothing more than an unconscious apology for our faults, a gigantic scaffolding whose object is to hide from us our favorite sin.
Henri Frederic Amiel
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 K. Chesterton
Apology is only egotism wrong side out.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.
Tracey Emin
We inadvertently bombed the Chinese Embassy. But Clinton now is working very hard. He has sent a letter of apology to the Chinese. And, he's also given them a gift certificate for future nuclear secrets.
David Letterman
An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.
Samuel Butler
An apology might help, but you can change your life without one.
Robin Quivers
An apology? Bah! Disgusting! Cowardly! Beneath the dignity of any gentleman, however wrong he might be.
Steve Martin
I want you to answer this question: Why should you settle for anything less than an authentic conservative who will fight for your views and values without an apology? Think about that.
Rick Perry
