Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

Moreover, a true Christian will not ascribe any prosperity to his own diligence, industry, or good fortune, but he will acknowledge that God is the author of it.

Acknowledge your limitations or they will tyrannize over you.

None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.

What a luxury a cat is, the moments of shocking and startling pleasure in a day, the feel of the beast, the soft sleekness under your palm, the warmth when you wake on a cold night, the grace and charm even in a quite ordinary workaday puss. Cat walks across your room, and in that lonely stalk you see leopard or even panther, or it turns its head to acknowledge you and the yellow blaze of those eyes tells you what an exotic visitor you have here, in this household friend, the cat who purrs as you stroke, or rub his chin, or scratch his head.

There are few people so stubborn in their atheism who, when danger is pressing in, will not acknowledge the divine power.
