ACCEPTANCE

One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.
Albert Einstein

Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

KILL ME TODAY OR ACCEPT ME AS I AM, FOR I WILL NEVER CHANGE.
UNKNOWN

Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.
J. Donald Walters

Let go of what you think life should be so you can experience the life you have.
Rhonda Britten

A man needs self-acceptance or he can't live with himself; he needs self-criticism or others can't live with him.
James A. Pike

Accept everything about yourself -- I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end -- no apologies, no regrets.
Clark Moustakas

It doesn't matter what we do until we accept ourselves. Once we accept ourselves, it doesn't matter what we do.
Charly Heavenrich

Seeing people as innocent is the greatest gift you can give another human being: the gift of acceptance.
Rhonda Britten

Acceptance of others, their looks, their behaviors, their beliefs, bring you an inner peace and tranquillity -- instead of anger and resentment

The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.
Maurice Godelier

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavoring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.
George Orwell

Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.
Denis De Rougamont

Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Brendan Francis

We must accept life for what it actually is -- a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.
Ida R. Wylie

Those who do not create the future they want must endure the future they get.
