The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering.

More quotes by Carl Jung
If you should see people in a room, you would not think that you had made those people, or that you were responsible for them.
Carl Jung
No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it possesses a great treasure, a thing that has become for him a source of life, meaning, and beauty, and that has given a new splendor to the world and to mankind.
Carl Jung
For the alchemist the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter.
Carl Jung
Neurosis is the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.
Carl Jung
The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him.
Carl Jung
But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, yea the very fiend himself— that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved— what then?
Carl Jung
Imagination is a concentrated extract of all the forces of life.
Carl Jung
A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.
Carl Jung
I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life.
Carl Jung
The mandala is an archetypal image whose occurrence is attested throughout the ages. It signifies the wholeness of the self. This circular image represents the wholeness of the psychic ground or, to put it in mythic terms, the divinity incarnate in man.
Carl Jung
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl Jung
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung
The greater the tension, the greater is the potential.
Carl Jung
Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. 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
We are so accustomed to the apparently rational nature of our world that we can scarcely imagine anything happening that cannot be explained by common sense. The primitive man confronted by a shock of this kind would not doubt his sanity he would think of fetishes, spirits or gods
Carl Jung
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Carl Jung
And what shall we know of this life on earth after death? The dissolution of our timebound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning. Rather, does the little finger know itself a member of the hand.
Carl Jung
To become acquainted with oneself is a terrible shock.
Carl Jung
We carry our past with us, to wit, the primitive and inferior man with his desires and emotions, and it is only with an enormous effort that we can detach ourselves from this burden. If it comes to a neurosis, we invariably have to deal with a considerably intensified shadow.
Carl Jung
Conflicts create the fire of affects and emotions and like every fire it has two aspects: that of burning and that of giving light.
Carl Jung
