“I am as non-accepting of medical quackery and unscientific approaches as anybody else. I've grown up as a card-carrying scientist, and I know the power of science to answer questions, and for many questions I don't know of anything better than scientific approaches to answer them.” KnowsAnswersAcceptingApproachScientistMedicalCardsQuackery Author:Dean Ornish
“Both parties accept this vision. But we can reach it only if we move rapidly and in parallel on all fronts. The so-called 'sequential' approach has failed.” IfsMovingPartyAcceptingVisionFrontsApproachParallels Author:Kofi Annan
“The slow, the never ending approach to truth consists in perpetually forming and testing hypotheses, accepting those at which at the time seem to fit the facts and rejecting the others.” FactsSeemsAcceptingFitApproachHypothesisTestingNever EndingRejecting Author:James G. Frazer
“Faced with such insecurity, labor unions seek a solution in demands for higher wages, shorter hours, pensions, and such things. But this approach takes monopolistic capitalism for granted, and accepts the unnatural division between property and responsibility as permanent. A much more radical solution is apt to come, and this may take either of two forms.” MayTwoWisdomFormPoliticsHoursResponsibilityAcceptingEconomyHigherDemandApproachSolutionsCapitalismLaborPropertyUnionsGrantedRadicalPermanentLiberalismInsecurityDivisionWagesUnnaturalPensionLabor Union Author:Fulton J.

“Many spiritual people are involved in a radical denial of what is happening. They want to transcend it, get rid of it, get out of it, get away from it. There's nothing wrong with that feeling, but the approach doesn't work because it's escapism in spiritual clothing. It's wearing spiritual clothing and spiritual concepts, but it is really no different than a drunk in the gutter who doesn't want to feel the pain anymore. When you abide and accept everything completely and fully, you automatically go beyond.” PeopleWantFeelsDifferentFeelingsPainSpiritualAcceptingInvolvedApproachHappeningsConceptsDrunkRadicalDenialGet AwayClothingsEscapismGutters Author:Adyashanti
“Performing isn't only about the acrobatics and the high notes: It's staying in the moment, connecting with the audience in an authentic way, and making yourself real to them through the music. I am more than the notes I hit, and that's how I try to approach my life. You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.” IfsWayTryingRealDoneMomentsLeftAcceptingAudienceApproachOvercomingNotesPerformingStayingConnectingShortcomingsTry Your BestHigh NotesAcrobatics Author:Idina Menzel
“With a full century of contrary proof in our possession and despite our demonstrated capacity for cooperative teamwork, some among us seem to accept the shibboleth of an unbridgeable gap between those who hire and those who are employed. We miserably fail to challenge the lie that what is good for management is necessarily bad for labor; that for one side to profit, the other must be depressed. Such distorted doctrine is false and foreign to the American scene where common ideals and purpose permit us a common approach toward the common good.” SeemsLyingPurposeSidesChallengesCommonAcceptingFailingCenturySceneApproachCapacityIdealsLaborManagementProfitPossessionProofContraryDoctrineDespiteGapsTeamworkPermitEmployedEmployersCommon GoodCooperatives Author:Dwight D.

“I would never dream of telling people how to dress. but I do say to them, however you are dressing, accept responsibility for it. And also, unless asked, I don't judge.

“That kind of skeptical, questioning, "don't accept what authority tells you" attitude of science - is also nearly identical to the attitude of mind necessary for a functioning democracy.
