More quotes by Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow
Even when adults do feel their safety to be threatened, we may not be able to see this on the surface. Infants will react in a fashion as if they were endangered, if they are disturbed or dropped suddenly, startled by loud noises, flashing light

I may say that B-love, in a profound but testable sense, creates the partner. It gives him a self-image, it gives him self- acceptance, a feeling of love-worthiness, all of which permit him to grow. It is a real question whether the full development of the human being is possible without it.
Abraham Maslow
Common sense means living in the world as it is today but creative people are people who don't want the world as it is today but want to make another world.
Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow
He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail.
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
The best product should be bought, the best man should be rewarded more. Interfering factors which befuddle this triumph of virtue, justice, truth, and efficiency, etc., should be kept to an absolute minimum or should approach zero as a limit.
Abraham Maslow
What shall we think of a well-adjusted slave?
Abraham Maslow
We fear our highest possibilities. We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments, under conditions of great courage. We enjoy and even thrill to godlike possibilities we see in ourselves in such peak moments. And yet we simultaneously shiver with weakness, awe, and fear before these very same possibilities.
Abraham Maslow
Every person is, in part, 'his own project' and makes himself.
Abraham Maslow
Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
Abraham Maslow
If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
Abraham Maslow
