Carl Rogers
Though modern Marriage is a tremendous laboratory, its members are often without preparation for the partnership function. How much agony and remorse and failure could have been avoided if there had been at least some rudimentary learning before they entered the partnership.
Carl Rogers
Man's inability to communicate is a result of his failure to listen effectively.
Carl Rogers
Life is about Being & Becoming.
Carl Rogers
