More quotes by Alfred Adler

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
There is only one reason for an individual to side-step to the useless side : the fear of a defeat on the useful side.
Alfred Adler
We cannot say that if a child is badly nourished he will become a criminal. We must see what conclusion the child has drawn.
Alfred Adler
We must never neglect the patient's own use of his symptoms.
Alfred Adler
I am grateful for the idea that has used me.
Alfred Adler
Play is a child's work and this is not a trivial pursuit.
Alfred Adler
To be human means to feel inferior.
