More quotes by Abraham Maslow

Image
What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualizat ion.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
If you treat your children at home in the same way you treat your animals in the lab, your wife will scratch your eyes out. My wife ferociously warned me against experimenting on her babies.

Abraham Maslow
Image
What is life for? Life is for you.
Abraham Maslow
Image
To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
Self-actualizing people must be what they can be.
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
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
No psychological health is possible unless this essential care of the person is fundamentally accepted, loved and respected by others and by himself.
Abraham Maslow
Image
My feeling is that the concept of creativeness and the concept of the healthy, self actualizing, fully human person seem to be coming closer and closer together, and may perhaps turn out to be the same thing
Abraham Maslow
Image
What we call 'normal' in psychology is really a psychopathology of the average, so undramatic and so widely spread that we don't even notice it ordinarily.
Abraham Maslow
Image
In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Well why not a technology of joy, of happiness?
