~ The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval. ~ ~ Shame is closely related to guilt, but there is a key qualitative difference. No audience is needed for feelings of guilt, no one else need know, for the guilty person is his own judge. Not so for shame. The humiliation of shame requires disapproval or ridicule by others. If no one ever learns of a
misdeed there will be no shame, but there still might be guilt. Of course, there may be both. The distinction between shame and guilt is very
important, since these two emotions may tear a person in opposite directions. The wish to relieve guilt may motivate a confession, but the wish to
avoid the humiliation of shame may prevent it. ~ ~ Lean too much on the approval of people, and it becomes a bed of thorns ~ ~ Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. ~ ~ I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything. ~ ~ 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 ~ ~ A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. ~ ~ Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best. ~ ~ People who want the most approval get the least and people who need approval the least get the most. ~ ~ Those whose approval you seek most give you the least. ~ ~ When my mother left her second husband, she wrote her autobiography and presented it to him for his approval. ~ ~ “Expressions of disapproval are on a level of vulgarity that cannot be tolerated. The way to express disapproval is to do without applause.” ~ ~ Expressions of disapproval are on a level of vulgarity that cannot be tolerated. The way to express disapproval is to do without applause. ~ ~ Architects and engineers are among the most fortunate of men since they build their own monuments with public consent, public approval and often public money. ~ ~ The pursuit of approval usually ends in disaster. ~ ~ I hope we do not see another Iraq-type operation for a long time without UN approval and much broader support from the international community. ~ ~ Criticism is the disapproval of people, not for having faults, but having faults different from your own. ~ ~ Lean too much on the approval of people, and it becomes a bed of thorns ~ ~ A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. ~ ~ As much as we thirst for approval we dread condemnation. ~ ~ Those whose approval you seek most give you the least. ~ ~ He gains everyone's approval who mixes the pleasant with the useful. ~ ~ Applause felt like approval, and it became a drug that soothed the pain, but only temporarily. ~ ~ I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds... I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution ~ ~ A widow is a fascinating being with the flavor of maturity, the spice of experience, the piquancy of novelty, the tang of practiced coquetry, and the halo of one man's approval. ~ ~ The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations. ~ ~ So far as drinking is concerned, you have my hearty approval; for wine does of a truth moisten the soul and lull our griefs to sleep....[and with small cups] we shall ...be brought by its gentle persuasion to a more sportive mood ~
