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.

More quotes by Alfred Adler
In the company of friends, writers can discuss their books, economists the state of the economy, lawyers their latest cases, and businessmen their latest acquisitions, but mathematicians cannot discuss their mathematics at all. And the more profound their work, the less understandable it is.
Alfred Adler
Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations.
Alfred Adler
The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.
Alfred Adler
Every neurotic is partly in the right.
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 be human means to feel inferior.
Alfred Adler
In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people to a degree elsewhere unknown.
Alfred Adler
Tears and complaints - the means which I have called water power - can be an extremely useful weapon for disturbing cooperation and reducing other to a condition of slavery.
Alfred Adler
seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.
Alfred Adler

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
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
Exaggerated sensitiveness is an expression of the feeling of inferiority.
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
It is very obvious that we are not influenced by facts but by our interpretation of the facts.
Alfred Adler
The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.
Alfred Adler
Overcoming difficulties leads to courage, self-respect, and knowing yourself.
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
War is not the continuation of politics with different means, it is the greatest mass-crime perpetrated on the community of man.
Alfred Adler
Violence as a way of gaining power... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security.
Alfred Adler
