More quotes by Alfred Adler
My difficulties belong to me!
Alfred Adler
A simple rule in dealing with those who are hard to get along with is to remember that this person is striving to assert his superiority and you must deal with him from that point of view.
Alfred Adler
Violence as a way of gaining power... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security.
Alfred Adler
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
Alfred Adler
It is one of the most effective attitudes of the neurotic to measure thumbs down, so to speak, a real person by an ideal, since in doing so he can depreciate him as much as he wishes.
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
The only worthwhile achievements of man are those which are socially useful.
Alfred Adler
All failures are so because they lack social interest.
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
To be human means to feel inferior.
Alfred Adler
Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations.
Alfred Adler
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared but only men of character are trusted.
Alfred Adler
The striving for significance, this sense of yearning, always points out to us that all psychological phenomena contain a movement that starts from a feeling of inferiority and reach upward. The theory of Individual Psychology of psychological compensation states that the stronger the feeling of inferiority, the higher the goal for personal power.
Alfred Adler
Every pampered child becomes a hated child.... There is no greater evil than the pampering of children.
Alfred Adler
seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.
Alfred Adler
War is not the continuation of politics with different means, it is the greatest mass-crime perpetrated on the community of man.
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
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
Far more unwaveringly, the neurotic keeps before his eye his God, his idol, his ideal of personality and clings to his guiding principle, losing sight in the meanwhile of reality, whereas the normal person is always ready to dispense with this crutch, this aid, and reckon unhampered with reality.
Alfred Adler
We must interpret a bad temper as a sign of inferiority.
Alfred Adler
