Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but theres all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens. – Arthur Gordon
