Disapproving Quotes

I hope you find great value in these Quotes about Disapproving from my large collection of inspirational quotes and motivational sayings.

need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to
take actions that others disapprove of,
you have lost control of your own life
and have given your destiny to others.
An excessive need-for-approval
is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
