More quotes by Albert Ellis
Worrying about dying will hardly help you live.
Albert Ellis
You have considerable power to construct self-helping thoughts, feelings and actions as well as to construct self-defeating behaviors. You have the ability, if you use it, to choose healthy instead of unhealthy thinking, feeling and acting.
Albert Ellis
Freud had a gene for inefficiency, and I think I have a gene for efficiency.
Albert Ellis
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
Albert Ellis
Whatever may be, I am still largely the creator and ruler of my emotional destiny.
Albert Ellis
The easy way out is often just that-the 'easy' way out of the most rewarding lifestyle.
Albert Ellis
If people stopped looking on their emotions as ethereal, almost inhuman processes, and realistically viewed them as being largely composed of perceptions, thoughts, evaluations, and internalized sentences, they would find it quite possible to work calmly and concertedly at changing them.
Albert Ellis
As a result of my philosophy, I wasn't even upset about Hitler. I was willing to go to war to knock him off, but I didn't hate him. I hated what he was doing.
Albert Ellis
We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.
Albert Ellis
I would have liked having children to some degree, but frankly I haven't got the time to take the kids to the goddamn ballgame. So it would have had more disadvantages than advantages for them.

Albert Ellis
If something is irrational, that means it won't work. It's usually unrealistic.
Albert Ellis
Neurosis is just a high-class word for whining.
Albert Ellis
The attitude of unconditional self-acceptance is probably the most important variable in their long-term recovery.
Albert Ellis
Humans can always accept themselves unconditionally.
Albert Ellis
I had a great many sex and love cases where people were absolutely devastated when somebody with whom they were compulsively in love didn't love them back. They were killing themselves with anxiety and depression.
Albert Ellis
Even when people act nastily to you, don't condemn them or retaliate.
Albert Ellis
I thought foolishly that Freudian psychoanalysis was deeper and more intensive than other, more directive forms of therapy, so I was trained in it and practiced it.
Albert Ellis
Stop shoulding on yourself
Albert Ellis
I think it's unfair, but they have the right as fallible, screwed-up humans to be unfair that's the human condition.
Albert Ellis
