“Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth.”
Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) British Conservative politician, writer, aristocrat and Prime Minister
“The truth is that nobody is owed an apology for anything. Apologies are lovely when they happen. But they change nothing. They do not reverse actions or correct damage. They are merely nice to hear.”
