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.

It isn't normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.
Abraham Maslow
Image
To make the growth choice instead of the fear choice a dozen times a day is to move a dozen times a day towards self-actualisation.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Creativity is a characteristic given to all human beings at birth.
Abraham Maslow
Image
If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? ...a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate?
Abraham Maslow
Image

Getting used to our blessings is one of the most important non-evil generators of human evil, tragedy and suffering.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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.

Be independent of the good opinion of other people.
Abraham Maslow
Image
The sacred is in the ordinary...it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own backyard...travel may be a flight from confronting the scared--this lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.
Abraham Maslow
Image

Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.
Abraham Maslow
Image
The key question isn't, 'What fosters creativity?' But it is, 'Why isn't everyone creative?'
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What does 'happy' mean? Happiness is not a state like Vermont.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
All the evidence that we have indicates that it is reasonable to assume in practically every human being, and certainly in almost every newborn baby, that there is an active will toward health, an impulse towards growth, or towards the actualization.
