Letter "A" » Acceptance
«Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.»
«That is the definition of faith -- acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.»
«The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.»
«To accept Christ is to receive Him by faith as your Lord and Savior. But, strictly speaking, the great thing to see is that God has accepted Christ. He took our sins upon Himself, died to make propitiation (the sacrifice which removed the anger of God) for them. But God raised Him from the dead and has taken Him up to glory. God has accepted Christ in token of His perfect satisfaction in His work. Believing this, the soul enters into peace. I simply rest in God?s thoughts about His son.»
«Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.»

«There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.»
«There is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.»
«Shall a man go and hang himself because he belongs to the race of pygmies, and not be the biggest pygmy that he can?»
