More quotes by Abraham Maslow
I have learned the novice can often see things that the expert overlooks. All that is necessary is not to be afraid of making mistakes, or of appearing naive.
Abraham Maslow
Quitting smoking can be a very good test of ones character. Pass the test and you will have accomplished so much more than just get rid of one bad habit
Abraham Maslow
I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane.
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
We cannot study creativeness in an ultimate sense until we realize that practically all the definitions that we have been using of creativeness are essentially male or masculine definitions of male or masculine products. We've left out of consideration almost entirely the creativeness of women.
Abraham Maslow
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
All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.
Abraham Maslow
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
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
If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
Abraham Maslow
Language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.
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
When people appear to be something other than good and decent, it is only because they are reacting to stress, pain, or the deprivation of basic human needs such as security, love, and self-esteem.
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
A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.
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
We have got to abandon the sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.
Abraham Maslow
You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety.
Abraham Maslow
(Some people) have a wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstasy.
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
