Laozi
Chinese - Philosopher
604 BC - 531 BC

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

Laozi

The people who receive the most approval in life are the ones who care the least about it--so technically, if you want the approval of others, you need to stop caring about it.

Wayne Dyer

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.

Laozi

If you care too much about what other people think, you will always be their prisoner. Lao Tzu

Avan Jogia

Approval is overrated...Approval and disapproval alike satisfy those who deliver it more than those who receive it. I don't care for approval, and I don't mind doing without.

Gregory Maguire

An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc.

Henri Matisse

I think there's something very disingenuous about literally all people who say that they don't care about anyone's approval.

Faith Salie

Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.

Joel Osteen

If we are addicted to people's approval, we will always experience pain when that approval is withdrawn--as it always is.

Joyce Meyer

If I maintain my silence about my secret it is my prisoner...if I let it slip from my tongue, I am ITS prisoner.

Arthur Schopenhauer

You get the most approval when you care the least about it.

Wayne Dyer

I am not a prisoner of my sexuality like men younger than myself although I write about being a prisoner.

Al Goldstein

Think about food on a full stomach and you find you don't care about taste. Think of lust after making love, and you find you don't care about sex. Therefore, if people always reflect on the regret they will feel afterward to forestall folly at the moment, they will be stable and will not err in action.

Zicheng Hong

I care about a lot of issues. I care about libraries, I care about healthcare, I care about homelessness and unemployment. I care about net neutrality and the steady erosion of our liberties both online and off. I care about the rich/poor divide and the rise of corporate business.

Sara Sheridan

Why be afraid of what people will say? Those who care about you will say, Good luck! and those who care only about themselves will never say anything worth listening to anyway.

Barbara Bush

As long as you hate your enemy, a jail door is closed and a prisoner is taken. But when you try to understand and release your foe from your hatred, then the prisoner is released and that prisoner is you.
