“Accept yourself within you and the entire world becomes totally acceptable.”

The opposite is also true – the whole world could disapprove of you, but if you love yourself, you would not even notice.

No one who is being himself is going to be approved of all the time.

The whole world could love you, but if you do not love yourself, you would not even notice.

Love is an undulating energy that moves through you, within you, and radiates out of you, and changes everything.

Human beings and the environment compose a seamless garment of existence, a multicolored cloth, which we believe to be woven in its entirety by God.

You are the best friend you will ever have. In the presence of your true self you will become the most peaceful, the most relaxed, the most natural person possible.

There was something unbearable in the things, in the people, in the buildings, in the streets that, only if you reinvented it all, as in a game, became acceptable.

Religion operates on the principle ‘I obey-therefore I am accepted by God.’ But the operating principle of the gospel is ‘I am accepted by God through what Christ has done-therefore I obey.’

There’s winning and there’s losing, and in life you have to know they both will happen. But what’s never been acceptable to me is quitting.

Calling Michelle ‘Obama Barack’s baby mama?’ Tell me, is that acceptable? But the Obamas aren’t the only targets. Fox’s pattern of race-baiting and fear-mongering regularly focuses on black leaders, black institutions and ordinary black people.

I pledge to set standards of what is acceptable to my sanity and what to phase out.

In life, winning and losing will both happen. What is never acceptable is quitting.

Finally, the scariest thing about abuse of any shape or form, is, in my opinion, not the abuse itself, but that if it continues it can begin to feel commonplace and eventually acceptable.

So, the politicians and the people who make decisions very often is the one we think can make some difference. But of course they will not make a difference if the citizens or the individuals not push it or not to speak out, to possess a very strong voice about, this is not acceptable.
