About This Quote

A wise man once said that the best definition of insanity was performing the same action over and over again, expecting different results. Unless you are insane, this is probably true. The same could be said of you. What makes you so sure you're right? And so sure I'm wrong?" "The difference is that I made a mistake once, out of ignorance," Tim said.

"Everything I've done since then has been to try to make amends." "To earn forgiveness." "To protect the innocents." Tim smiled, "And yes, to earn forgiveness. Forgiveness is not something that can be earned without good reason. It is something that comes only after the offending party has made amends for their misdeeds."
