Quote by Mark Twain
We can secure other people's approval, if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of self-approval over seeking validation from others. While it is possible to gain the approval of others by doing the right thing and putting in effort, the satisfaction and value of one's own approval far surpasses it. The quote suggests that there is no proven method to obtain or guarantee self-approval, highlighting the personal and individualistic nature of this pursuit. It implies that true fulfillment comes from finding a sense of self-worth and satisfaction within oneself, rather than relying on external validation.
