Quotes about apologetically (3 Quotes)


    I lead a pretty boring life. I once met an editor from the National Enquirer who said to me, almost apologetically, 'I'm sorry, but we're really not interested in you.' I'm afraid that's true.

    'I think well have a good potato crop this year,' a newspaper editor told his housekeeper one morning. 'No such thing,' asserted the housekeeper. 'I think the crop will be poor.' Ignoring her remark, the editor caused to be inserted in the evening paper his estimate of the crop situation. That night when he returned home he found the housekeeper waiting for him with a sheepish grin on her face and a copy of the paper in her hand. 'I was wrong,' she said apologetically. 'It says right here in the paper that the crop will be excellent this fall.'

    Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. We solicitously and apologetically caress and celebrate him, because he held on his way and scorned ourdisapprobation. The gods loved him because men hated him.
