But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.

More quotes by Abraham Maslow
We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings.
Abraham Maslow
Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? ...a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate?
Abraham Maslow
One can go back toward safety or forward toward growth.
Abraham Maslow
One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.
Abraham Maslow
Self-actualizing people are those who have come to a high level of maturation, health and self-fulfillment... the values that self-actualizers appreciate include truth, creativity, beauty, goodness, wholeness, aliveness, uniqueness, justice, simplicity, and self-sufficiency.
Abraham Maslow
I have discovered the missing link between the anthropoid apes and civilized men. It's us!
Abraham Maslow
We can consider the process of healthy growth to be a never ending series of free choice situations, confronting each individual at every point throughout his life, in which he must choose between the delights of safety and growth, dependence and independence, regression and progression, immaturity and maturity.
Abraham Maslow
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
Human nature has been sold short...[humans have] a higher nature which...includes the need for meaningful work, for responsibility, for creativeness, for being fair and just, for doing what is worthwhile and for preferring to do it well.
Abraham Maslow
In the ideal college, intrinsic education would be available to anyone who wanted it...The college would be life-long, for learning can take place all through life.
Abraham Maslow
Become aware of internal, subjective, subverbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.
Abraham Maslow
It seems that the necessary thing to do is not to fear mistakes, to plunge in, to do the best that one can, hoping to learn enough from blunders to correct them eventually.
Abraham Maslow
A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.
Abraham Maslow
Secrecy, censorship, dishonesty, and blocking of communication threaten all the basic needs.
Abraham Maslow
All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.
Abraham Maslow
Creativity is a characteristic given to all human beings at birth.
Abraham Maslow
There seems no intrinsic reason why everyone shouldn't be (self-actualising). Apparently every baby has possibilities for self-actualisation, but most get it knocked out of them ...I think of the self-actualising man not as an ordinary man with something added, but rather as the ordinary man with nothing taken away.
Abraham Maslow
A child wants some kind of undisrupted routine or rhythm. He seems to want a predictable, orderly world.
Abraham Maslow
Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction.
Abraham Maslow
If you love the truth, you'll trust it - that is, you will expect it to be good, beautiful, perfect, orderly, etc., in the long run, not necessarily in the short run.
Abraham Maslow
