Quotes on ACCEPTANCE and TOLERANCE

You accept yourself for the person you are, with good points and bad points, with strengths and weaknesses, and with the normal frailties of a human being. When you develop the ability to stand back and look at yourself honestly, and to candidly admit to others that you may not be perfect but you're all you've got, you start to enjoy a heightened sense of self-acceptance." ~Brian Tracy

It was up to me to make the best of it.” ~Wangari Maathai
