The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another’s keeping .

As much as we thirst for approval we dread condemnation.

Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.

Having emotional independence means we are no longer tied to the need for constant approval and are, therefore, not coerced into doing more than we feel comfortable doing by our need to please others.

Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the main keys to positive changes in every area of our lives.

Poland is smaller than France or Germany, for example. What would a common foreign policy look like? Would the trip I took to Kiev last week require a detour through Brussels in the future? Would it require approval from Brussels? While the West, for its part, doesn’t think twice about other countries when it comes to its projects?
