An apology is a good way to have the last word. Pick your friends, but not to pieces. Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it. Usually people are as happy as they make their minds up to be. You will never offend a person by returning a smile.
Gentle words fall lightly, but have great weight.
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun. How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on. I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them. Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
