Quotes about Approval

You don't have to seek anyone else's approval for the life God has given you to live. You don't have to apologize for the strength, fortitude, courage, talent, beauty, or intellect your Creator has given you.

We anesthetize our despair with the next purchase, pill, or plunder.

Are you prepared to brave the negative reactions, comments, criticisms, and complaints that may arise from owning your authentic self? Can you handle it? Some people can't.

Don't accept the applause of men, and you won't be destroyed by their criticism.

The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.

Why in God's name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it the world couldn't get on with the holiest man that ever lived, and it can get on with you and me?

I love it--I just love it.

No matter what you do, 10% of the population will not like you.
