I hope you like these quotes about Disapproving from the collection at Life Quotes and Sayings.
A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting
on his past actions and their motives -
of approving of some and disapproving of others.

need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to
take actions that others disapprove of,

is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval -
a thing which, to the general run of the human race,

- Mark Twain
Talent is God-given; be humble.
Fame is man-given; be thankful.
Conceit is self-given; be careful.

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men
who walked through the huts comforting others,

to choose one's own way.
