The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.

In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries. Of perceiving the error in what was previously our conviction, of sensing the untruth in what was our truth, and of weighing the degree of opposition, and even of hostility, in what we took to be love.
Carl Jung

Protection and security are only valuable if they do not cramp life excessively.
Carl Jung

Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it
Carl Jung
Image
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
Carl Jung
Image
The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.
Carl Jung
Image
The symbol in the dream has more the value of a parable: it does not conceal, it teaches.
Carl Jung
Image
Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us.
Carl Jung
Image
One must be able to let things happen.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is something that has to be lived and not talked about.
Carl Jung
Image
We all must do what Christ did. We must make our experiment. We must make mistakes. We must live out our own version of life. And there will be error. If you avoid error you do not live.
