On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
An apology is the superglue of life. It can repair just about anything.
We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not.

Let a nation's fervent thanks make some amends for the toils and sufferings of those who survive.
