48 Touching Apology Quotes To Help You Say You Are Sorry

Apology

An honest apology can go a long way no matter what wrong has been done and the amount of damage caused. Being human means we make mistakes all the time. You will find yourself making mistakes at times, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Although it's wrong to make a mistake while knowing you are making one, sometimes you could have a reason. Maybe you feel like someone hurt you and want to hurt them back.

Maybe you are having too much fun breaking a curfew and don't want to stop. Or perhaps you are protecting someone else. Whatever the reason for a mistake, it's always best to apologize.

A mistake means that someone was hurt in the process or something got ruined. The best way to go about a mistake is an apology. An apology shows that you acknowledge what happened, and you take responsibility by saying that you are sorry.

An apology should be honest and heartfelt. Your actions or words should feel regrettable. A genuine apology is a sign of maturity.

An apology can be as simple as saying that you are sorry. You could also express it in other ways, like writing or doing something to make up for it. Although some mistakes are very hurtful with irreparable damage, an apology is a good start to mending things.

Not all apologies are accepted. Some people will not be ready to believe you are sorry and choose to cut you off from their life and move on from the situation. When this happens, respect their decision.

After all, if you hadn't messed up, things would never have gotten to that point. If someone comes to you with an apology, try to give them a chance too. We hope our apology quotes remind you that man is to error and that we all make mistakes sometimes.

Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.

Head Chef: Noooooo! This is inexcusable! I thought I'd seen to it that the young master's cuisine would be served with the hot foods hot and the cold foods cold. Only my complete lack of confidence as a chef could allow such a lukewarm dish to be served to you. I beg your forgivene-e-e-e-e-ess! May I be cut into a thousand pieces for this egregious act! Hostess: No, it's MY fault. I've clearly waited too long to serve your meal. Head Chef: No, it was MY fault! Hostess: It was MY fault! Head Chef: No, it was MINE! Tohru Honda: By any chance are those two... Yuki Sohma: Related? Yes, they're cousins. It's amazing the family resemblance.

Yuki Sohma: Hey. Is this the maple leaf I gave you? Machi Kuragi: No! Give it back! I was so asleep I even packed that... Yuki Sohma: Oh...maybe I have the wrong leaf. Machi Kuragi: You're wrong! Yuki Sohma: Okay. Sorry. Of course it was a different leaf. Machi Kuragi: ....but you're not...technically wrong. Yuki Sohma: Which is it, Machi? Machi Kuragi: I mean, there isn't any hidden meaning behind it. I just wasn't sure about throwing it away, so I made a bookmark. I made it myself. There's nothing beyond that...

I am so, so sorry. I can't seem to go anywhere without causing problems for everyone around me. I'm just a born troublemaker, I suppose. It's true. I'm so worthless I can't carry a paper bag. I don't deserve to share the same air with the rest of the human race. I'm a blemish on the face of the world. What was I thinking? A low-life like me should never have come to visit Shigure.

Hostess: Ahhhhhhh! You should be ashamed of yourself! To think you would even suggest the idea of sharing a room with a young woman!

Shigure, Kyo and I will be going to the main house tonight. I'm sorry. I really should've explained earlier. It's sort of a Sohma family tradition. I, uh... I guess it was just such an obvious thing to us that we'd be going that we completely forgot to mention it.

I was cruel... Insensitive to your pain. The first and only time you came to me for help, you reached out to me with those trembling hands. And I just brushed you off. It's not as if I've forgotten.

She couldn’t tell you. It’s hard to tell someone that you’re being bullied. I couldn’t tell my mom, either. She found out after a while, though. For some reason, I started apologizing like crazy. I felt so ashamed. I started to feel ashamed of myself for being bullied. And I was embarrassed to let my mom find out. I was scared she wouldn’t love me anymore. I was scared… …to let people know about this part of myself. I desperately tried to hide it by pretending I was okay. That made me feel even more ashamed… and embarrassed. So when my mom said, “It’s okay,” I was so relieved. She said that there was nothing to be embarrassed about, and I cried again, this time in relief. Kisa-san might also feel this way. She didn’t want you to hate her. She couldn’t tell you because she loves you.

God, please let her meet someone better than me. Someone who can give her the happiness she deserves. I'll do anything. I'll be snow in a world without spring. Frozen until the day I die. Just please... Please.

Kyo Sohma: Okay now that is definitely the dumbest thing I've ever heard! What's so great about a stinkin' plum anyway?! Tohru Honda: Oh, I'm sorry, we can change it to salmon if you want.

You do what you have to do to give people closure; it makes them feel better and it doesn’t cost you much to do it. I’d rather apologize for something I didn’t 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.

The Eagle looked at me. He was crying, noiselessly. Tears just rolled from his eyes to his chin and then fell onto his corduroy pants. He stared at me, but it was not the Look of Doom. His eyes blinking the tears down his face, the Eagle looked, for all the world, sorry.

Are you talking about what I said back then!? Forget that…that was just me taking my own guilt out on you. But…I do know that she was suffering. Haru-nii…Rin…Rin was…pushed off a second story balcony by Akito. Those major injuries weren’t from an accident. Akito found out you were seeing Rin, and he…he…[…] Akito…Kisa…that time when Akito hit you…it was my fault. I made Akito angry, and he took it out on you. He…hurt you. I’ve wanted to apologize all this time. I’m so sorry. Haru-nii, you too. I’m sorry. In both cases, I was told to keep my mouth shut, so I didn’t say a word. So if you’re angry with me, I understand…Rin is trying to break the curse…! She’s trying so hard, all to set you free from Akito…and from herself. That’s why she broke up with you. You need to tell her, “It’s okay now.” If she keeps it up, Rin’s mind and body will give out. She’ll end up suffering alone forever…

I’m genuinely am sorry. I brought you guys up from less than f**king nothing and took you up to a championship level, only to leave you high and dry. Naked and nude. Prey. Easy targets for the competitions to rape and butt-f**k you. I’m sorry for that.
