Image
We fear our highest possibility. We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.
Abraham Maslow
Image
If you love the truth, you'll trust it - that is, you will expect it to be good, beautiful, perfect, orderly, etc., in the long run, not necessarily in the short run.
Abraham Maslow
Image
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We do what we are and we are what we do.
Abraham Maslow
Image
In a word, to perceive an object abstractly means not to perceive some aspects of it. It clearly implies selection of some attributes, rejection of other attributes, creation or distortion of still others. We make of it what we wish. We create it.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Every person is, in part, 'his own project' and makes himself.
Abraham Maslow
Image
One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again fear must be overcome again and again.
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
Creative people are all there, totally immersed, fascinated and absorbed in the present, in the current situation, in the here-now, with the matter-in-hand.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What kind of guilt comes from being true to yourself but not to others?. As we have seen, being true to yourself may at times intrinsically and necessarily be in conflict with being true to others.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings.
Abraham Maslow
Image
A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.
Abraham Maslow
Image
It seems that the necessary thing to do is not to fear mistakes, to plunge in, to do the best that one can, hoping to learn enough from blunders to correct them eventually.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What one can be, one must be!
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
Secrecy, censorship, dishonesty, and blocking of communication threaten all the basic needs.
Abraham Maslow
Image
All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Man has his future within him, dynamically alive at this present moment.
