More quotes by Alfred Adler
Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations.
Alfred Adler
Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.
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
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
Exaggerated sensitiveness is an expression of the feeling of inferiority.
Alfred Adler
My difficulties belong to me!
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
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
Every neurotic is partly in the right.
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
Nobody adopts antisocial behaviour unless they fear that they will fail if they remain on the social side of life.
Alfred Adler
What is courage? Courage is the willingness to risk failure...There is only one danger I find in life, and that, indeed, is a real one. You may take too many precautions.
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
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
Follow your heart always, and remember to take your head along with you.
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 the individual who is not interested in his fellow men who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is fro+m among such individuals that all human failures spring.
Alfred Adler
The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.
Alfred Adler
More important than innate disposition, objective experience, and environment is the subjective evaluation of these. Furthermore, this evaluation stands in a certain, often strange, relation to reality.
Alfred Adler
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.
Alfred Adler
