I make mistakes; I'll be the second to admit it.

It is important to admit your mistakes, and to do so before you are charged with them.

Always acknowledge a fault frankly. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you opportunity to commit more.

I made a misstatement and I stand by all my misstatements.

I want to say to this House I did the best I could to do my job and if I made a mistake, I want to apologise..

When I calmly consider this, the flame of anxiety burns my body. Towards the public, I am deeply ashamed of my lack of discretion... I would like to apologize to successive emperors and people by doing my best for the reconstruction of the nation and people's happiness.

I know that we made mistakes.

While I have told about my successes, did I make mistakes? [I made] more than enough; many mistakes that I bitterly regret. First of all, my mistake was the court.

If you're wrong, admit it!

I confessed, I messed up dropping 'I'm sorry's like you're still around.

I think I deserve an apology.

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Muslims must realize and admit the wrongs perpetrated under the Islamic rule.

While my actions were meant with the best of intentions, my actions also fell below the standards of transparency and openness that I have promoted and advocated. I offer a fulsome apology to you and to the government for what has happened and offer my resignation.
