Quotes About Accept

To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one's dignity. To choose always the hardest.

Accept him? Do we really think Jesus needs our acceptance? Don't we need him?

Because all the societies, all the nations, all the cultures, have taken it for granted that the individuals exist for them, not vice-versa. To me, just the opposite is the case: the society exists for the individual, the culture exists for the individual, the nation exists for the individual.

But no culture, no society, no civilization is ready to accept a simple truth.

Early in my career I was divided because I had the real self underneath: the lawbreaker, the anarchist, the person who swims against the tide, the outsider, the loner, all of that guy.
