More quotes by Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler
Follow your heart but take your brain with you.
Alfred Adler
Life is just the same as learning to swim. Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!
Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler
Distorted history boasts of bellicose glory... and seduces the souls of boys to seek mystical bliss in bloodshed and in battles.
Alfred Adler
In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people to a degree elsewhere unknown.
Alfred Adler
Nobody adopts antisocial behaviour unless they fear that they will fail if they remain on the social side of life.
Alfred Adler
The widespread belief that Yuppies as a class would perish from Brie-cheese poisoning turned out to be over-optimistic.
Alfred Adler
It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country.
Alfred Adler
In the investigation of a neurotic style of life, we must always suspect an opponent, and note who suffers most because of the patient's condition. Usually this is a member of the family.
