Well, heck

Here I was, weighing the posting of an appropriate quotation, when I'm suddenly defanged by an apology.

Apology accepted.

Since I already had my Quotation file opened, though, here's a recent one from Gen. Mark Milley that I liked (1): “Apologies are demonstrations of strength,” Milley told me. “There’s a whole concept of redemption in Western philosophy. It’s part and parcel of our philosophy, the Western religious tradition—the idea that human beings are fallible, that we sin and that we make mistakes and that when you do so you own the mistake, you admit it, and then you learn from that mistake and take corrective action and move on.”

Moving on
