Image
Man has his future within him, dynamically alive at this present moment.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We must understand love we must be able to teach it, to create it, to predict it, or else the world is lost to hostility and to suspicion.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.
Abraham Maslow
Image
The sacred is in the ordinary...it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own backyard...travel may be a flight from confronting the scared--this lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Every person is, in part, 'his own project' and makes himself.
Abraham Maslow
Image
The chicken came first - God would look silly sitting on an egg.
Abraham Maslow

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again fear must be overcome again and again.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
Abraham Maslow
Image
To make the growth choice instead of the fear choice a dozen times a day is to move a dozen times a day towards self-actualisation.
Abraham Maslow
Image
I have discovered the missing link between the anthropoid apes and civilized men. It's us!
Abraham Maslow
Image
...the great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard.
Abraham Maslow
Image
To the extent that language forces experiences into categories it is a screen between reality and the human being. In a word, we pay for its benefits... Therefore, while using language, as we must of necessity, we should be aware of its shortcomings.
Abraham Maslow
Image
You must want to be first-class ...meaning the best, the very best you are capable of becoming. If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading your own capacities, your own possibilities.
Abraham Maslow
Image
When all you own is a hammer, every problem starts looking like a nail.
Abraham Maslow
Image
In a word, to perceive an object abstractly means not to perceive some aspects of it. It clearly implies selection of some attributes, rejection of other attributes, creation or distortion of still others. We make of it what we wish. We create it.
Abraham Maslow
Image
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
Abraham Maslow
Image
One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Education is learning to grow, learning what to grow toward, learning what is good and bad, learning what is desirable and undesirable, learning what to choose and what not to choose.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We cannot study creativeness in an ultimate sense until we realize that practically all the definitions that we have been using of creativeness are essentially male or masculine definitions of male or masculine products. We've left out of consideration almost entirely the creativeness of women.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction.
