Approval Quotes - page 11
I mean, it's pretty disillusioning for all of us right now, and we feel pretty helpless when Congress, their approval rating is thirteen percent, and across the board, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you sort of want to walk in and fire everybody.
Christopher Cross
The mistake our politicians so often make with these industry leaders is in thinking they are interested in, or respectful of, the power of government. All they want is to keep stealing.

Matt Taibbi

Happy Rhodes
Material things aside, we need no advice but approval.
Coco Chanel
Particularly if the Republicans nominate a more moderate candidate such as Mitt Romney, Obama will not be able to rely on partisan animosity to succeed where job approval has failed. And, given all that, he might not even run.
Dick Morris
While the Democratic-led congress hits a record low nine percent approval rating despite high pre-election hopes, the even further left-leaning embodiment of that epic failure is now shuffling around the globe, sending crowds into frenzies through speeches pimped out with eminently forgettable rhetoric that would make great political speechmakers like Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill scratch their heads.
Rachel Marsden
To fill the hour, that is happiness to fill the hour, and leave no crevice for a repentance or an approval.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'm on the patch right now. Where it releases small dosages of approval until I no longer crave it, and then I'm gonna rip it off.
Ellen DeGeneres
Shame resilience is the ability to say, "This hurts. This is disappointing, maybe even devastating. But success and recognition and approval are not the values that drive me. My value is courage and I was just courageous. You can move on, shame.
Brené Brown
The closest thing to criticism of the Blue House our government has issued in recent months has been the statement that inter-Korean relations mustn't get ahead of denuclearization. Clearly the relations are not in themselves problematic from America's perspective. This in turn implies approval of the many steps Moon has already undertaken to undermine the ROK's claim to exclusive legitimacy and its commitment to liberal democratic values.
Brian Reynolds Myers

Alan Cohen
When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.
Caroline Myss
One of the statistics that always amazes me is the approval of the Chinese government, not elected, is over 80 percent. The approval of the U.S. government, fully elected, is 19 percent. Well, we elected these people and they didn't elect those people. Isn't it supposed to be different? Aren't we supposed to like the people that we elected?
Bill Gates
Parents want their kids' approval, a reversal of the past ideal of children striving for their parents' approval.
Elizabeth Kolbert
Well, I'm not one of those people who needs the limelight. If I'm performing, that's what I'm doing. If I'm not, I don't long for it. I don't need the approval of an audience, or applause.
Patti Smith
As we think about rebuilding New Orleans, surely, God is mad at America. He's sending hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroying and putting stress on this country. Surely, he's not approval [sic] of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But, surely, he is upset at black America, also.
Ray Nagin
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.
Guy Finley
Why do you want the approval of others who don't even approve of themselves?
Guy Finley
Cassidy was watching Elizabeth with something like awe. This was a side to her that Allison hadn't seen before. Cassidy seemed to long for this woman's approval, automatically doing everything a little bigger and better any time Elizabeth's gaze turned in her direction.
Lis Wiehl
As young people, we are surrounded by expectations that may have little to do with who we really are, expectations held by people who are not trying to discern our selfhood but to fit us into slots. In families, schools, workplaces, and religious communities, we are trained away from true self toward images of acceptability; under social pressures ... our original shape is deformed beyond recognition; and we ourselves, driven by fear, too often betray true self to gain the approval of others.
Parker Palmer
We can secure other people's approval, if we do right and try hard but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that.
Mark Twain
He looked into the crowd for approval, saw his mother and father. He waved and they waved back. Smiles and Indian teeth. They were both drunk. Everything familiar and welcome. Everything beautiful.
Sherman Alexie
