“Whether you accept or reject the idea of God, the sacredness of all life is a goal devoutly to be wished”
“Happiness comes from accepting the present situation, whether it’s something you wish to savor as long as possible or change as quickly as you can. Neither is possible without acceptance as the starting point, because without acceptance, you are living on the periphery of your life. There at the edges, you can’t fully enjoy the god stuff or do anything about the rest”
“God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not a choice. You must take it. The only question is how.”
“You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.”
“When life gives you pain, accept it. When life gives you happiness, reject it.”
“...life is not just from within, it extends all around you, whether you wish it to or not.”
