More quotes by Abraham Maslow
One cannot choose wisely for a life unless he dares to listen to himself, his own self, at each moment of his life.
Abraham Maslow
It is unfortunate to consider all lawyers as natural Satanists many are just dumb.
Abraham Maslow
Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.
Abraham Maslow
Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization.
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
Whereas the average individuals often have not the slightest idea of what they are, of what they want, of what their own opinions are, self-actualizing individuals have superior awareness of their own impulses, desires, opinions, and subjective reactions in general.
Abraham Maslow
What shall we think of a well-adjusted slave?
Abraham Maslow
The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.
Abraham Maslow
Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
Abraham Maslow
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
Abraham Maslow
The key question isn't, 'What fosters creativity?' But it is, 'Why isn't everyone creative?'
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
He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail.
Abraham Maslow
...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
The theory of science which permits and encourages the exclusion of so much that is true and real and existent cannot be considered a comprehensive science.
Abraham Maslow
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
Boys will be boys as long as there are no girls in the picture.
Abraham Maslow
All the evidence that we have indicates that it is reasonable to assume in practically every human being, and certainly in almost every newborn baby, that there is an active will toward health, an impulse towards growth, or towards the actualization.
Abraham Maslow
We must remember that knowledge of one’s own deep nature is also simultaneously knowledge of human nature in general.
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
