Image
(Some people) have a wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstasy.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What kind of guilt comes from being true to yourself but not to others?. As we have seen, being true to yourself may at times intrinsically and necessarily be in conflict with being true to others.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What is life for? Life is for you.
Abraham Maslow
Image
I can feel guilty about the past, Apprehensive about the future,but only in the present can I act.The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Love, safety, belongingness and respect from other people are almost panaceas for the situational disturbances and even for some of the mild character disturbances.
Abraham Maslow
Image
No psychological health is possible unless this essential care of the person is fundamentally accepted, loved and respected by others and by himself.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We must understand love we must be able to teach it, to create it, to predict it, or else the world is lost to hostility and to suspicion.
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
Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization.
Abraham Maslow
Image
A stupid man behaves stupidly, not because he wants to, or tries to, or is motivated to, but simply because he is what he is.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Creative people are all there, totally immersed, fascinated and absorbed in the present, in the current situation, in the here-now, with the matter-in-hand.
Abraham Maslow
Image
I may say that B-love, in a profound but testable sense, creates the partner. It gives him a self-image, it gives him self- acceptance, a feeling of love-worthiness, all of which permit him to grow. It is a real question whether the full development of the human being is possible without it.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We fear our highest possibility. We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.
Abraham Maslow
Image
It isn't normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualizat ion.
Abraham Maslow
Image
One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What one can be, one must be!
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
Only the flexibly creative person can really manage the future, Only the one who can face novelty with confidence and without fear.

The only happy people I know are the ones who are working well at something they consider important.
