History, in a democratic age, tends to become a series of popular apologies, and is inclined to assume that the people can do no wrong.

Albert Pollard Historian

I was taught that justice is a right that every American should have. Also justice should be the goal of every American. I think that's what makes this country. To me, justice means the innocent should be found innocent. It means that those who do wrong should get their due punishment. Ultimately, it means fair treatment. So a call for justice shouldn't offend or disrespect anybody. A call for justice shouldn't warrant an apology.

Andrew Hawkins Football Player

It will never do to plead sin as an excuse for sin, or to attempt to justify sinful acts by pleading that we have an evil heart. This instead of being a valid apology, is the very ground of our condemnation.

Archibald Alexander

I have nothing definite to apologize for; I'm just sorry about everything in general.

Ashleigh Brilliant Author

Apologies only account for that which they do not alter.

Benjamin Disraeli Former Leader Of The House Of Commons

How do you know when an apology is true—when it means something, or can change something, or will last outside the moment?
