I was never considered cool throughout my teens: a very important time to be accepted by someone especially your peers. Yes I had all the screaming women but the guys hated my guts.

One of the most important things that I did to turn my life around was to realize and to accept that from this minute that's all we have. Everything that happened behind us we cannot change so you might as well look to the future.

I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.

As far as I'm aware everybody in the shadow cabinet accepts that there's a compelling case on climate change and a strong scientific case.

Washington is still very much a male-oriented culture. Being from Los Angeles I think it is less so there - there is less attachment to tradition perhaps there is more flexibility more acceptance of change generally. That is partly because of Hollywood.

Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.

I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back.

Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.

We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that's going on always and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.

We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.
