Whenever you are too worried about someone else's approval, that person loses respect for you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.
You can't respect yourself if you're afraid to be who you are.
Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions.
It is still a surprise when people tell me that I've had an influence on them, particularly when it's someone I really respect.
It's the age-old thing - it's such a cliche - but why worry about things you have no control over?
People striving for approval from others become phony.
Remember, it is a deep principle of our nature not to regard the safety of those who do not regard their own. If you are indifferent to your own safety, you must not be surprised if those less interested should become more so.
Whenever I do a deal I always have the right of approval.
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
