More quotes by Alfred Adler
It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country.
Alfred Adler
Courage is not an ability one either possess or lacks. Courage is the willingness to engage in a risk-taking behavior regardless of whether the consequences are unknown or possibly adverse. We are capable of courageous behavior provided we are willing to engage in it. Given that life offers few guarantees, all living requires risk-taking.
Alfred Adler
It is very obvious that we are not influenced by facts but by our interpretation of the facts.
Alfred Adler
There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.
Alfred Adler
All failures are so because they lack social interest.
Alfred Adler
War is organized murder and torture against our brothers.
Alfred Adler
There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait but if he does not learn it he must perish.
Alfred Adler
Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.
Alfred Adler
My psychology belongs to everyone.
Alfred Adler
We are not determined by our experiences, but are self-determined by the meaning we give to them and when we take particular experiences as the basis for our future life, we are almost certain to be misguided to some degree. Meanings are not determined by situations. We determine ourselves by the meanings we ascribe to situations.
Alfred Adler
Overcoming difficulties leads to courage, self-respect, and knowing yourself.
Alfred Adler
