Memorable quotes from Accepted
""You see," said my Teacher, "how little your words have done. So far as the Monarch understands them at all, he accepts them as his own — for he cannot conceive of any other except himself — and plumes himself upon the variety of 'Its Thought' as an instance of creative Power. Let us leave this God of Pointland to the ignorant fruition of his omnipresence and omniscience: nothing that you or I can do can rescue him from his self-satisfaction.""
"Acceptance is the better part of grief."
"If you're gonna work for me, you have to be willing to be wrong, willing to lose. 'Cause you just did. You're fired."
"To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings."
"We don't have to explain miracles; all we have to do is accept them."
"If we live by the rule of honesty and accept our problems, we can go far down the road of achievement."
"It is not a matter of competing with someone else. Essentially, it is accepting our own special abilities as special – and then developing them."
"No one has rightly denied himself unless he has wholly resigned himself to the Lord and is willing to leave every detail to his good pleasure. If we put ourselves in such a frame of mind, then, whatever may happen to us, we shall never feel miserable or accuse God falsely because of our lot."
