Recognize

Famous quotes containing the word recognize:

    Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature; whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    I recognize no rights but human rights—I know nothing of men’s rights and women’s rights ...
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    I believe that the fundamental proposition is that we must recognize that the hostilities in Europe, in Africa, and in Asia are all parts of a single world conflict. We must, consequently, recognize that our interests are menaced both in Europe and in the Far East.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
