More quotes by Abraham Maslow
Religion becomes a state of mind achievable in almost any activity of life, if this activity is raised to a suitable level of perfection.
Abraham Maslow
But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.
Abraham Maslow
To the extent that language forces experiences into categories it is a screen between reality and the human being. In a word, we pay for its benefits... Therefore, while using language, as we must of necessity, we should be aware of its shortcomings.
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
Become aware of internal, subjective, subverbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.
Abraham Maslow
The most beautiful fate, the most wonderful good fortune that can happen to any human being, is to be paid for doing that which he passionately loves to do.
Abraham Maslow
The major motivation theories by which most men live can lead them only to depression and cynicism.
Abraham Maslow
He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail.
Abraham Maslow
The best way to view a present problem is to give it all you've got, to study it and its nature, to perceive within it the intrinsic interrelationships, to discover the answer to the problem within the problem itself.
Abraham Maslow
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
False optimism sooner or later means disillusionment , anger and hopelessness.
Abraham Maslow
Laugh at what you hold sacred, and still hold it sacred.
Abraham Maslow
In the ideal college, intrinsic education would be available to anyone who wanted it...The college would be life-long, for learning can take place all through life.
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
Man has his future within him, dynamically alive at this present moment.
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
The search for safety takes its clearest form... in the compulsive-obsessive neurosis... to frantically order and stabilize the world so that no unmanageable, unexpected or unfamiliar dangers will ever appear.
Abraham Maslow
We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.
Abraham Maslow
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
The loss of illusions and the discovery of identity, though painful at first, can be ultimately exhilarating and strengthening.
Abraham Maslow
