After the fighting is done, and even when it's still happening, apologies are often needed for the recounting of bare facts. Sometimes bare facts feel unpatriotic.

We, as conservative intellectuals, should not be in the business of making excuses for bad parliamentary decisions by Republican leaders in Congress.

Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.

I think it's time that we said to people who are incapable of acknowledging that they've ever got anything wrong: 'I'm sorry, you've had your day.' Unelected, unaccountable elites, I'm afraid it's time to say, 'You're fired. We are going to take back control.'

I am sorry to be leaving the post of secretary of state for Scotland.

Our politicians don't say anything anymore: they just refute and assert.

If there's one thing I'm not going to apologise for as the leader of the Liberal Democrats in government after 60 or 70 years of being out of government, it's that you just cannot avoid but deal with the world the way it is.

I listen to Gov. Romney have to apologize because he has been successful.

The GOP/corporate right-wing, it seems, never really considers the consequences of their actions.
