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

You don't have to see eye-to-eye to walk hand-in-hand. You just have to want to go in the same direction.

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.

An effective apology contains within it the answer to the question, "How am I to be held accountable?"

An effective apology focuses more on compassion for the victim than redemption for the offender.

Apologies have more power than most of us realize to restore strained relationships, free us from vengeful impulses, and create possibilities for growth.

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.

When I accept an apology it means that the part in me that honors our relationship honors the part in you that honors our relationship.

You can't talk your way out of a situation you acted you way into.

Accepting the apology signals the acknowledgment of a need to move forward, but not necessarily together.

Фанатиците винаги имат един такъв раздърпан, опулен вид. Приличат на хора, които не мастурбират, но непрекъснато мислят за това.

If we need the protection of men, let us first ask it from God. If we prevail with Him, the power of the most mighty and of the most wicked must minister to our relief.

It is dangerous to be so busy that you have no time to wait on God.

When people are smiling they are most receptive to almost anything you want to teach them.

Stop congregating in the valley just because an echo sounds good when it agrees with itself.

I'm a writer and this is what I love to do.

You've got to be an observer. And you've got to take time to listen to people, talk, to watch what they do.

The nature of man is such that people consider themselves put under an obligation as much by the benefits they confer as by those they receive.

I have a little mantra: My fear grows fat on the energy I feed it. And if it grows very big, it probably happens.
