More quotes by 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
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

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

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
To be human means to feel inferior.
Alfred Adler
The widespread belief that Yuppies as a class would perish from Brie-cheese poisoning turned out to be over-optimistic.
Alfred Adler
There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
Alfred Adler
My psychology belongs to everyone.
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
If you wish to educate a child who has gone wrong, then you must, above all, keep your attention fixed on the intersection of two charmed circles.
Alfred Adler
My difficulties belong to me!
Alfred Adler
Follow your heart but take your brain with you.
