More quotes by Abraham Maslow
Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.
Abraham Maslow
One can go back toward safety or forward toward growth.
Abraham Maslow
The emotional reaction in the peak experience has a special flavor of wonder, of awe, of reverence, of humility and surrender before the experience as before something great.
Abraham Maslow
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
Be independent of the good opinion of other people.
Abraham Maslow
Well why not a technology of joy, of happiness?
Abraham Maslow
Since my mother is the type that's called schizophrenogenic in the literature-she's the one who makes crazy people, crazy children-I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane.
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
A positive self image and healthy self esteem is based on approval, acceptance and recognition from others but also upon actual accomplishments, achievements and success upon the realistic self confidence which ensues.
Abraham Maslow
There is, first, the desire for strength, for achievement, for adequacy, for confidence in the face of the world, and for independence and freedom. Secondly, we have what we may call the desire for reputation or prestige
Abraham Maslow
Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
Abraham Maslow
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
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
[Concerning] the usual contempt with which an orthodox analytic group treats all outsiders and strangers ... I urge you to think of the young psychoanalysts as your colleagues, collaborators and partners and not as spies, traitors and wayward children. You can never develop a science that way, only an orthodox church.
Abraham Maslow
If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
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
The most stable, and therefore, the most healthy self-esteem is based on deserved respect from others rather than on external fame or celebrity and unwarranted adulation.
Abraham Maslow
Language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.
Abraham Maslow
My feeling is that the concept of creativeness and the concept of the healthy, self actualizing, fully human person seem to be coming closer and closer together, and may perhaps turn out to be the same thing
Abraham Maslow
You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety.
Abraham Maslow
