More quotes by Alfred Adler
To all those who walk the path of human cooperation war must appear loathsome and inhuman.
Alfred Adler
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.
Alfred Adler
There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait but if he does not learn it he must perish.
Alfred Adler
Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.
Alfred Adler
Man knows much more than he understands.
Alfred Adler
The science of the mind can only have for its proper goal the understanding of human nature by every human being, and through its use, brings peace to every human soul.
Alfred Adler
The only worthwhile achievements of man are those which are socially useful.
Alfred Adler
The goal of the human soul is conquest, perfection, security, superiority.
Alfred Adler
God who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.
Alfred Adler
Violence as a way of gaining power... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security.
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
Nobody adopts antisocial behaviour unless they fear that they will fail if they remain on the social side of life.
Alfred Adler
Overcoming difficulties leads to courage, self-respect, and knowing yourself.
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
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
It is always easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
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
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
Distorted history boasts of bellicose glory... and seduces the souls of boys to seek mystical bliss in bloodshed and in battles.
Alfred Adler
My psychology belongs to everyone.
