Famous quotes containing the word approach:
“Girls tend to attribute their failures to factors such as lack of ability, while boys tend to attribute failure to specific factors, including teachers’ attitudes. Moreover, girls avoid situations in which failure is likely, whereas boys approach such situations as a challenge, indicating that failure differentially affects self-esteem.”
—Michael Lewis (late–20th-century)
“Saints are simply men & women who have fulfilled their natural obligation which is to approach God.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
