No amount of temporal success can compensate for the loss of God's approval.
Max Anders
Image
Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner.
Laozi
Image
Once we begin chasing approval, we never stop running. It's servitude to a thousand masters instead of one to please.
David Jeremiah
Image
To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity.
Robin Williams
Image
Comedy is a very approval-oriented field.
Dave Chappelle
Image
Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval.
Oscar Wilde
Image
When I started writing, I did have some idealised notion of my dad as a writer. But I have less and less of a literary rivalry with him as I've gone on. I certainly don't feel I need his approval, although maybe that's because I'm confident that I've got it.
Paul Theroux

The best ballplayer's the one who doesn't think he made good. He keeps trying to convince you.
Casey Stengel

Donald Trump enters office with historically low approval ratings, that's where the battle could get fought. If the country turns against him, his Republican adversaries could feel emboldened.
Sam Tanenhaus
Image
Our expectation of the gratitude of others for what we've done for them is sometimes exaggerated because of our deep desire for appreciation and approval. When our good work or good deeds go unrewarded by hoped for praise, we feel like failures so we treat those who denied us our due as betrayers.
Michael Josephson
Image
An authentic life does not require anyone else's approval for your creative choices.
Alan Cohen
Image
To secure approval one must remain within the bounds of conventional mediocrity. Whatever lies beyond, whether it be greater insight and virtue, or greater stolidity and vice, is condemned. The noblest men, like the worst criminals, have been done to death.
John Lancaster Spalding
Image
Some recent philosophers seem to have given their moral approval to these deplorable verdicts that affirm that the intelligence of an individual is a fixed quantity, a quantity that cannot be augmented. We must protest and react against this brutal pessimism we will try to demonstrate that it is founded on nothing.
Alfred Binet
Image
Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions.
Harvey Mackay
Image
I started playing the acoustic guitar for more singer-songwriter type stuff. I bet if I would have gotten more approval for my rock playing, I might be a world class shredder.
Jill Sobule
Image
The world consists mainly of love slobs who need other people's approval. Most people don't live their own lives very well.
Albert Ellis
Image
To see men admitting that you are what you believe yourself to be, is one of the triumphs of existence.
Mary Catherwood
Image
Naturalness is the easiest thing in the world to acquire, if you will forget yourself-forget about the impression you are trying to make.
Dale Carnegie
Image
You don't have to wait for anyone's approval to do things. You don't have to try to get a job and go through set steps before you start a career or start your life. That's what I want young girls to know - you can do anything you want. Just start.
Petra Collins
Image
You should resolve not to seek public approval of your private business, when you are not also prepared to accept public disapproval.
Judith Martin
Image
WHAT A TIRING WAY TO LIVE, WHEN YOUR SELF-WORTH IS CONSTANTLY RELYING ON THE AFFIRMATION AND APPROVAL OF OTHERS.

To a teenager, it cannot be true love if her family approves of him.
Evan Esar
Image
We've got a dictatorial president and a Justice Department that does not want Congress involved. Your guy's acting like he's king. His dad was at a 90 percent approval rating and he lost! And the same thing can happen to him!
Dan Burton
Image
When anyone starts out to do something creative - especially if it seems a little unusual - they seek approval, often from those least inclined to give it. But a creative life cannot be sustained by approval, any more than it can be destroyed by criticism - you learn this as you go on.
