Truth is but approved facts.
Obamacare is a disaster. And you remember, I called that from before it was approved. I said, "This can't work, because it's just. . . The plan is no good. The concept is no good," and it turned out to be much worse.
I saw a Velveeta commercial, and it was playing, I think, 'Burning Love. ' [Jackson] had approved it-that's something we can't control. He can do whatever he wants with the songs he owns to make money, and that got under my skin.
That which concerns everyone must also be discussed and approved by everyone.
This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine, despite the fact that I can't get my cabinet approved, and they're outstanding people.
People with self-respect exhibit a certain toughness, a kind of moral nerve; they display what was once called *character,* a quality which, although approved in the abstract, sometimes loses ground to the other, more instantly negotiable virtues. . . . character--the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life--is the source from which self-respect springs.
I was certainly never conscious of 'playing the woman'. I would not have approved of that. It is not a winning tactic. I operated in the world as I found it, and it was a man's world.
My whole life I've been a fraud. I'm not exaggerating. Pretty much all I've ever done all the time is try to create a certain impression of me in other people. Mostly to be liked or admired. It's a little more complicated than that, maybe. But when you come right down to it it's to be liked, loved. Admired, approved of, applauded, whatever. You get the idea.
Wanting to be on television is a mental illness. Wanting to be president of the United States, wanting to be an actor - these are degrees of the same mental illness. If you need to be approved of simultaneously by more people than are in this room now, there's a problem.
The lawyers have escaped most criticism [and undeservedly so]. The tax shelters [were approved by lawyers, who got paid huge commissions to do so] and every miscreant had a high-falutin' lawyer at his side. Why don't more law firms vote with their feet and not take clients who have signs on them that say, "I'm a skunk and will be hard to handle?" I've noticed that firms that avoid trouble over long periods of time have an institutional process that tunes bad clients out. Boy, if I were running a law firm, I'd want a system like that because a lot of firms have a lot of bad clients.

Whatever God felt about anything, He still feels. Whatever He thought about anyone, He still thinks. Whatever He approved, He still approves. Whatever He condemned, He still condemns. Today we have what they call the relativity of morals. But remember this God never changes. Holiness and righteousness are conformity to the will of God. And the will of God never changes for moral creatures.
We need total health more than medically approved health. Our wellness should not be limited to our doctor's experience, but enhanced by our own experience.
I think then I may safely conclude and I firmly believe that American slavery is not only not a sin but especially commanded by God through Moses and approved by Christ through His Apostles.
Never submit an idea or chapter to an editor or publisher, no matter how much he would like you to. Writing from the approved idea is (another) gravely serious time-waster. This is your story. Try and find out what your editor wants in advance, but then try and give it to him in one piece.
Thank Artemis, it is you! That little scar on your lip--you tried to eat a stapler when you were two!". . . Hedge nodded like he approved of Jason's taste. "Staplers--excellent source of iron.
Abstinence is approved of God.
It's true the Holy Spirit alone can reproduce the character of our Lord Jesus, and we must always abide in Christ. But the Bible also makes us active partners in the process, and we must be diligent to do our part. "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed".
