Acknowledge Quotes (page 9)

Impartiality is incompatible with the will to affirm oneself or quite simply with the will to exist. To acknowledge another’s merits is an alarming symptom, an act against nature. Emile M. Cioran
Margaret Atwood quote: "Now I wanted to be acknowledged, but I feared it."
Now I wanted to be acknowledged, but I feared it. Margaret Atwood
We were typical, happy thirteen-year-olds who were going out - which meant we never talked or really acknowledged one another. It was wonderful. Olivia Munn
If we knew thoroughly the nervous system of Shakespeare . . . we should be able to show why . . . his hand came to trace on certain sheets of paper those crabbed little black marks which we . . . call the manuscript of Hamlet. We should understand the rationale of every erasure and alteration therein . . . without in the slightest degree acknowledging the existence of the thoughts in Shakespeare’s mind. The words and sentences would be taken, not as signs of anything beyond themselves, but as... William James
Dean Koontz quote: "The brain acknowledged the approach of death while the heart..."
The brain acknowledged the approach of death while the heart stubbornly insisted upon immortality. Dean Koontz
I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit. Theodore Roosevelt
George Bernard Shaw quote: "Literature is too full of 'acknowledgments' and squabbles..."
Literature is too full of 'acknowledgments' and squabbles about originality... George Bernard Shaw
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "Take a pinch of snuff, doctor, and acknowledge that I have..."
Take a pinch of snuff, doctor, and acknowledge that I have scored over you in your example. Arthur Conan Doyle
Let me, if I may, be ever welcomed to my room in winter by a glowing hearth, in summer by a vase of flowers. If I may not, let me think how nice they would be and bury myself in my work. I do not think that the road to contentment lies in despising what we have not got. Let us acknowledge all good, all delight that the worlds holds, and be content without it. George MacDonald
Think of it. Fifteen whole years-no small part of a mans life.-taken from us-all the most energetic have fallen to the cruelty of the emperor. And the few that survive are no longer what we once were. Yet I find some small satisfaction in acknowledging the bondage we once suffered. Tacitus, The Agricola Tacitus
[W]isdom is the child of integrity—being integrated around principles. And integrity is the child of humility and courage. In fact, you could say that humility is the mother of all virtues because humility acknowledges that there are natural laws or principles that govern the universe. They are in charge. Pride teaches us that we are in charge. Humility teaches us to understand and live by principles, because they ultimately govern the consequences of our actions. If humility is the... Stephen Covey
When you look back on a lifetime and think of what has been given to the world by your presence, your fugitive presence, inevitably you think of your art, whatever it may be, as the gift you have made to the world in acknowledgment of the gift you have been given, which is the life itself... That work is not an expression of the desire for praise or recognition, or prizes, but the deepest manifestation of your gratitiude for the gift of life. Stanley Kunitz
Grace has to be the loveliest word in the English language. It embodies almost every attractive quality we hope to find in others. Grace is a gift of the humble to the humiliated. Grace acknowledges the ugliness of sin by choosing to see beyond it. Grace accepts a person as someone worthy of kindness despite whatever grime or hard-shell casing keeps him or her separated from the rest of the world. Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense. Charles R. Swindoll
And of the sixth day yet remained. There wanted yet the master work, the end. Of all yet done: a creature who not prone And brute as other creatures but endued. With sanctity of reason might erect His stature and, upright with front serene, Govern the rest, self-knowing, and from thence. Magnanimous to correspond with Heaven, But grateful to acknowledge whence his good Descends, thither with heart and voice and eyes. Directed in devotion to adore And worship God supreme who made him chief. Of... John Milton
Confucius quote: "If you don't know, recognise that you don't know. If you know,..."
If you don't know, recognise that you don't know. If you know, acknowledge that you know. That is knowledge. Confucius
