Abraham Maslow
When we free ourselves from the constraints of ordinary goals and uninformed scoffers we will find ourselves roaring off the face of the earth.
Abraham Maslow
If both the physiological and the safety needs are fairly well gratified, then there will emerge love and affection and belongingness needs, and the whole cycle already described will repeat itself with this new centre. Now the person will feel keenl
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

Abraham Maslow
Classic economic theory, based as it is on an inadequate theory of human motivation, could be revolutionized by accepting the reality of higher human needs, including the impulse to self actualization and the love for the highest values.
Abraham Maslow
All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.
Abraham Maslow
