More quotes by Alfred Adler
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
Alfred Adler
We are not determined by our experiences, but are self-determined by the meaning we give to them and when we take particular experiences as the basis for our future life, we are almost certain to be misguided to some degree. Meanings are not determined by situations. We determine ourselves by the meanings we ascribe to situations.
Alfred Adler

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
We must interpret a bad temper as a sign of inferiority.
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
It is well known that those who do not trust themselves never trust others.
Alfred Adler
To be a human being means to possess a feeling of inferiority which constantly presses towards its own conquest. The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge for conquest and the more violent the emotional agitation.
Alfred Adler
To be human means to feel inferior.
Alfred Adler
Follow your heart always, and remember to take your head along with you.
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
It is easy to believe that life is long and one's gifts are vast -- easy at the beginning, that is. But the limits of life grow more evident it becomes clear that great work can be done rarely, if at all.
Alfred Adler
Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.
