Any acceptance of authority is the very denial of truth.

Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation should be changed.

We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are.

The worst guilt is to accept an unearned guilt.

Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy for most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils it is moreover the way to win the favor of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.
