More quotes by Alfred Adler
You can be healed of depression if every day you begin the first thing in the morning to consider how you will bring a real joy to someone else.
Alfred Adler
War is organized murder and torture against our brothers.
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
To see with the eyes of another, to hear with the ears of another, to feel with the heart of another. For the time being, this seems to me an admissible definition of what we call social feeling.
Alfred Adler
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.
Alfred Adler
Each generation has its few great mathematicians, and mathematics would not even notice the absence of the others. They are useful as teachers, and their research harms no one, but it is of no importance at all. A mathematician is great or he is nothing.
Alfred Adler
The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.
Alfred Adler
More important than innate disposition, objective experience, and environment is the subjective evaluation of these. Furthermore, this evaluation stands in a certain, often strange, relation to reality.
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
Every neurotic is partly in the right.
Alfred Adler
There is a courage of happiness as well as a courage of sorrow.
Alfred Adler
I am grateful for the idea that has used me.
Alfred Adler
All failures are so because they lack social interest.
Alfred Adler
Every individual acts and suffers in accordance with his peculiar teleology, which has all the inevitability of fate, so long as he does not understand it.
Alfred Adler
We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a getaway. We cannot love and be limited.
Alfred Adler
Violence as a way of gaining power... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security.
Alfred Adler
Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations.
Alfred Adler
Exaggerated sensitiveness is an expression of the feeling of inferiority.
Alfred Adler
What person, confined in a small room with nothing but a tea-cosy, will not eventually put the tea-cosy on their head?
Alfred Adler
We must interpret a bad temper as a sign of inferiority.
Alfred Adler
