I am accounted by some people as a good man. How cheap that character is acquired! Pay your debts, don't borrow money, nor twist your kitten's neck off, nor disturb a congregation, etc., your business is done. I know things of myself, which would make every friend I have fly me as a plague patient.

Friedrich August von Hayek
Image
Be advised what thou dost discourse of, and what thou maintainest whether touching religion, state, or vanity for if thou err in the first, thou shalt be accounted profane if in the second, dangerous if in the third, indiscreet and foolish.
Walter Raleigh

More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any 'scientific' explanation. . .I am convinced that these objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on earth.
Hugh Dowding, 1st Baron Dowding
Image
No good model ever accounted for all the facts, since some data was bound to be misleading if not plain wrong.

The Nation of Islam was the biggest contributor to the Million Man March, but poor people gave their nickels, dimes and dollars some wealthy Black people gave money to make that March a success - and every nickel, every dime, every dollar was accounted for.

At the beginning, ballet accounted for at least two hours out of six hours of my daily training session. Later I devoted less time to ballet, but every workout of mine included training in choreography.

I know that we women are all justly accounted praters they say in the present day that there never was in any age such a wonder to be found as a dumb woman. [Lat., Nam multum loquaces merito omnes habemus, Nec mutam profecto repertam ullam esse Hodie dicunt mulierem ullo in seculo.]
Plautus
Image
The poor quality of Christian that grows out of our modern evangelistic meeting may be accounted for by the absence of real repentance accompanying the initial spiritual experience of the converts. And the absence of repentance is the result of an inadequate view of sin and sinfulness held by those who present themselves in the inquiry room.

According to the United Nations Special Commission [UNSCOM], which carried out inspections in Iraq for the better part of a decade, Iraq possesses some 25,000 liters of anthrax. This is, for the record, more than 5 million teaspoons of anthrax. And we have no idea where any of it is. Saddam Hussein has never accounted for one grain of it.
Richard Armitage
Image
No language is as depending on arbitrary use and custom can ever be permanently the same, but will always be in a mutable and fluctuating state and what is deem'd polite and elegant in one age, may be accounted uncouth and barbarous in another.
