The true leader is always led.
Carl Jung
Image
Most of our difficulties come from losing contact with our instincts, with the age-old forgotten wisdom stored up in us.
Carl Jung
Image
Language, in its origin and essence, is simply a system of signs or symbols that denote real occurrences or their echo in the human soul.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychopathology of the masses is rooted in the psychology of the individual
Carl Jung
Image
If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.
Carl Jung
Image
The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
Carl Jung
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung
Image
It is proverbial, of course, that man never learns from history, and, as a rule, in respect to a problem of the present, it can teach us simply nothing. The new must be made through untrodden regions, without suppositions, and often, unfortunately, without piety also.
Carl Jung
Image
I have gradually learned to be cautious even in disbelief
Carl Jung
Image
Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself. It is an almost absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical...We might well say, on the contrary, that physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses.
Carl Jung
Image
In sleep, fantasy takes the form of dreams. But in waking life, too, we continue to dream beneath the threshold of consciousness, especially when under the influence of repressed or other unconscious complexes.
Carl Jung
Image
The mind has grown to its present state of consciousness as an acorn grows into an oak, or as saurians developed into mammals.
Carl Jung
Image
When you are up against a wall, put down roots like a tree, until clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall and grow.
Carl Jung
Image
Intuition (is) perception via the unconscious
Carl Jung
Image
I know that previously I would not have dared to express myself so explicitly about so uncertain a matter. I can take this risk because I am now in my eighth decade, and the changing opinions of men scarcely impress me any more the thoughts of the old masters are of greater value to me than the philosophical prejudices of the Western mind.
Carl Jung
Image
No concept is a carrier of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
Carl Jung
Image
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Carl Jung
Image
If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
Carl Jung
Image
Deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, There is something not right, no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or moral code.
Carl Jung
