More quotes by Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow
Plateau experiencing can be achieved, learned, earned by long hard work.... A transient glimpse is certainly possible in the peak experiences which may, after all, come sometimes to anyone. But, so to speak, to take up residence on the high plateau .... that is another matter altogether. That tends to be a lifelong effort.
Abraham Maslow
The good or healthy society would then be defined as one that permitted people's highest purposes to emerge by satisfying all their basic needs.
Abraham Maslow
Man has his future within him, dynamically alive at this present moment.
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
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
False optimism sooner or later means disillusionment , anger and hopelessness.
Abraham Maslow
