The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

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.

God, give us the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

That which has always been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false.

Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.

I always love to begin a journey on Sundays, because I shall have the prayers of the church to preserve all that travel by land, or by water.

Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there’s got to be a way through it.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

One love, one heart, one destiny.

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.

Master of human destinies am I! Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait.
