What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualizat ion.
Abraham Maslow
Image
There seems no intrinsic reason why everyone shouldn't be (self-actualising). Apparently every baby has possibilities for self-actualisation, but most get it knocked out of them ...I think of the self-actualising man not as an ordinary man with something added, but rather as the ordinary man with nothing taken away.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We do what we are and we are what we do.
Abraham Maslow
Image
...the great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard.
Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow
Image
One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities.
Abraham Maslow
Image
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
Image
Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.
Abraham Maslow
Image
In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.
Abraham Maslow
Image
I think of the self-actualizing man not as an ordinary man with something added, but rather as the ordinary man with nothing taken away. The average man is a full human being with dampened and inhibited powers and capabilities.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We may define therapy as a search for value.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Self-actualized people...live more in the real world of nature than in the man-made mass of concepts, abstractions, expectations, beliefs and stereotypes that most people confuse with the world.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What we call 'normal' in psychology is really a psychopathology of the average, so undramatic and so widely spread that we don't even notice it ordinarily.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Boys will be boys as long as there are no girls in the picture.
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.
