Image
We must never neglect the patient's own use of his symptoms.
Alfred Adler
Image
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
Image
A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt as dangerous.
Alfred Adler

It is well known that those who do not trust themselves never trust others.
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

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
Image
My difficulties belong to me!
Alfred Adler
Image
Life is just the same as learning to swim. Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!
Alfred Adler
Image
It is always easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Alfred Adler
Image
It is very obvious that we are not influenced by facts but by our interpretation of the facts.
Alfred Adler
Image
Every neurotic is partly in the right.
Alfred Adler
Image
The educator must believe in the potential power of his pupil, and he must employ all his art in seeking to bring his pupil to experience this power.
Alfred Adler
Image
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
Image
The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.
Alfred Adler
Image
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.

There is a courage of happiness as well as a courage of sorrow.
