More quotes by Abraham Maslow
He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail.
Abraham Maslow
You must want to be first-class ...meaning the best, the very best you are capable of becoming. If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading your own capacities, your own possibilities.
Abraham Maslow
The study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy
Abraham Maslow
We may define therapy as a search for value.
Abraham Maslow
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.
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
Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.
Abraham Maslow
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
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
Common sense means living in the world as it is today but creative people are people who don't want the world as it is today but want to make another world.
Abraham Maslow
Be independent of the good opinion of other people.
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
One cannot choose wisely for a life unless he dares to listen to himself, his own self, at each moment of his life.
Abraham Maslow
One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.
Abraham Maslow
Even when adults do feel their safety to be threatened, we may not be able to see this on the surface. Infants will react in a fashion as if they were endangered, if they are disturbed or dropped suddenly, startled by loud noises, flashing light
Abraham Maslow
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
Abraham Maslow
In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.
Abraham Maslow
The test of a man is: does he bear apples? Does he bear fruit?
Abraham Maslow
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
The most beautiful fate, the most wonderful good fortune that can happen to any human being, is to be paid for doing that which he passionately loves to do.
Abraham Maslow
