I have always believed that life is too short for rows and disagreements. Even if I think I'm right, I would prefer to apologize and remain friends rather than win and be an enemy.
If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
Never apologize. Never explain. Just get the thing done, and let them howl.
