A true apology is more than just aknowledgment of a mistake. It is recognition that something you have said or done has damaged a relationship and that you care enough about the relationship to want it repaired and restored.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The mind, ever the willing servant, will respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is a command to deliver mental resources.

God answers prayer in three ways: yes, no, and wait awhile.
Norman Vincent Peale

They are inherently good - the bad reactions aren't basic. Every human being is a child of God and has more good in him than evil - but circumstances and associates can step up the bad and reduce the good. I've got great faith in the essential fairness and decency - you may say goodness - of the human being.
Norman Vincent Peale
