More quotes by Abraham Maslow
The job is, if we are willing to take it seriously, to help ourselves to be more perfectly what we are, to be more full, more actualizing, more realizing in fact, what we are in potentiality.
Abraham Maslow
The peaker learns surely and certainly that life can be worthwhile, that it can be beautiful and valuable. There are ends in life, i.e., experiences which are so precious in themselves as to prove that not everything is a means to some end other than itself.
Abraham Maslow
Expression and communication in the peak–experiences tend often to become poetic, mythical, and rhapsodic, as if this were the natural kind of language to express such states of being.
Abraham Maslow
What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualizat ion.
Abraham Maslow
The fact that people who create are good workers tends to be lost.
Abraham Maslow
It is unfortunate to consider all lawyers as natural Satanists many are just dumb.
Abraham Maslow
Fear of knowing is very deeply a fear of doing.
Abraham Maslow
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
What does 'happy' mean? Happiness is not a state like Vermont.
Abraham Maslow
Secrecy, censorship, dishonesty, and blocking of communication threaten all the basic needs.
Abraham Maslow
A positive self image and healthy self esteem is based on approval, acceptance and recognition from others but also upon actual accomplishments, achievements and success upon the realistic self confidence which ensues.
Abraham Maslow
A child wants some kind of undisrupted routine or rhythm. He seems to want a predictable, orderly world.
Abraham Maslow
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
The good or healthy society would then be defined as one that permitted people's highest purposes to emerge by satisfying all their basic needs.
Abraham Maslow
If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.
Abraham Maslow
One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.
Abraham Maslow
The best way to view a present problem is to give it all you've got, to study it and its nature, to perceive within it the intrinsic interrelationships, to discover the answer to the problem within the problem itself.
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
Life could be vastly improved if we could count our blessings as self-actualizing people can and do, and if we could retain their constant sense of good fortune and gratitude for it.
Abraham Maslow
Man is a perpetually wanting animal.
Abraham Maslow
