More quotes by Alfred Adler
My psychology belongs to everyone.
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
The style of life is a unity because it has grown out of the difficulties of early life and out of the striving for a goal.
Alfred Adler
All failures are so because they lack social interest.
Alfred Adler
seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.
Alfred Adler
No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences, so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.
Alfred Adler
Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.
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
Nobody adopts antisocial behaviour unless they fear that they will fail if they remain on the social side of life.
Alfred Adler
A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt as dangerous.
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
The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.
Alfred Adler
If I didn't have this affliction, I would be the first. As a rule the if-clause contains an unfulfillable condition, or the patient's own arrangement, which only he can change.
Alfred Adler
Everything can always be different!
Alfred Adler
War is organized murder and torture against our brothers.
Alfred Adler
The feeling of inferiority rules the mental life and can be clearly recognized in the sense of incompleteness and unfulfillment, and in the uninterrupted struggle both of individuals and humanity.
Alfred Adler
In this case, the neurotic resembles a human being who looks up to God, commends himself to His ways, and then religiously awaits how the Lord will guide him he is nailed to the cross of his fiction.
Alfred Adler
Exaggerated sensitiveness is an expression of the feeling of inferiority.
Alfred Adler
Follow your heart always, and remember to take your head along with you.
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.
