Acceptance Quotations
The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.
Maya Angelou
The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.
Ivan Illich
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
Brian Tracy
Happiness can exist only in acceptance.
George Orwell
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
William James
Be willing to have it so. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
William James
The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.
Ralph Marston
I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.
Tina Turner
No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it.
Fernando Pessoa
