Image
The mathematical life of a mathematician is short. Work rarely improves after the age of twenty-five or thirty. If little has been accomplished by then, little will ever be accomplished.
Alfred Adler
Image
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
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
The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.

Alfred Adler
Image
I am grateful for the idea that has used me.
Alfred Adler
Image
Violence as a way of gaining power... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security.
Alfred Adler
Image
We must never neglect the patient's own use of his symptoms.
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
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
Image
seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.
Alfred Adler
Image
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
Image
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.

To be human means to feel inferior.
