Acceptance Quotes

All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise - and those who are happy - embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.

Acceptance means events can make it through you without resistance

Michael Singer

I have a self-made quote: Celebrate diversity, practice acceptance and may we all choose peaceful options to conflict.

Donzella Michele Malone

To love, and be loved, this is the greatest challenge that any of us face in our lives.

T. Scott McLeod

To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Sometimes we fight who we are, struggling against ourselves and our natures. But we must learn to accept who we are and appreciate who we become. We must love ourselves for what and who we are, and believe in our talents.

Harley King

Hatred never ceases with hatred, but with love alone is healed.

T. Scott McLeod

But with trust we can strive to accept even what we cannot understand.

Christopher Ryan

I can't explain that, except to say there's release in knowing the truth no matter how anguishing it is. You come finally to the irreducible thing, and there's nothing left to do but pick it up and hold it. Then, at least, you can enter the severe mercy of acceptance.

Sue Monk Kidd

The moment you become miserly you are closed to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing. The moment you start clinging to things, you have missed the target--you have missed. Because things are not the target, you, your innermost being, is the target--not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you; not much money, but a rich you; not many things, but an open being, available to millions of things.

Osho

Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.

Rasheed Ogunlaru

I just want to be loved, is that so wrong?!

Harvey Fierstein

Throw your arms around the world and hold on tight. But not through fear ...but because of your love.

Rasheed Ogunlaru

Falling in love was simple; one had only to yield. Digesting another person, however, and sustaining love, was bloody work, and not a soft job.

Hanif Kureishi

If a person lacks self-acceptance, he can't live with himself; if he lacks self-criticism, others can't live with him.

James Albert Pike

The happier person is one, that acknowledges and accepts life won't get any better than this.

Anthony Liccione

My hands tend to be full enough dealing with people who hate me for who I am. Concentrate too hard on the millions of people who hate you for what you are and you're likely to turn into one of those unkempt, sloppy dressers who sag beneath the weight of the two hundred political buttons they wear pinned to their coats and knapsacks.

David Sedaris

It is only when you accept how different you all are, that you will be able to see how much the same you all are. Don't expect anybody to be the same as you, then you will see that you are in many ways the same as everybody.

C. JoyBell C.

Mary watched the sunset from her carriage window, realizing that such beauty could never last. Life was a golden glory that faded in the wink of an eye. Life was a village fair that only lasted for a single day. As the carriage rattled along, rocking her like a babe in arms, Mary felt very old and wise. She found that she didn't mind being taken back to the castle, to a caring captivity that was filled with comforts and kindness. And she also found that she couldn't keep her eyes open.

Margaret George

Accept Yourself. Love Yourself. Be Yourself. In the authentic you there is truth! When we are aligned with truth we are aligned with our highest good - God, Source, Higher Self, The Universe. . . Liberate yourself from the limiting beliefs of your ego. Be the positive radiant white light that is truly you!
