Image
It is unfortunate to consider all lawyers as natural Satanists many are just dumb.
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
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
Image
What does 'happy' mean? Happiness is not a state like Vermont.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Secrecy, censorship, dishonesty, and blocking of communication threaten all the basic needs.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of 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
If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
Abraham Maslow
Image
What is life for? Life is for you.
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
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
Apparently one impression we are making... is that creativeness consists of lightning striking you on the head in one great glorious moment.
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
One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.
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
It is vital that people count their blessings: to appreciate what they possess without having to undergo its actual loss.
Abraham Maslow
Image
Human beings seem to be far more autonomous and self-governed than modern psychological theory allows for.
Abraham Maslow
Image
We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise.
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
We cannot study creativeness in an ultimate sense until we realize that practically all the definitions that we have been using of creativeness are essentially male or masculine definitions of male or masculine products. We've left out of consideration almost entirely the creativeness of women.
