Alfred Adler

We cannot love and be limited.
Alfred Adler
It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country.
Alfred Adler
There is only one reason for an individual to side-step to the useless side : the fear of a defeat on the useful side.
Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler
What person, confined in a small room with nothing but a tea-cosy, will not eventually put the tea-cosy on their head?
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
Follow your heart always, and remember to take your head along with you.
Alfred Adler
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
