More quotes by M. Scott Peck
The principal form that the work of love takes is attention. When we love another person we give him or her our attention we attend to that person's growth.
M. Scott Peck
Courage is not the absence of fear it is the making of action in spite of fear.
M. Scott Peck
The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.
M. Scott Peck
Idealists are people who believe in the potential of human nature for transformation. . . . The most essential attribute of human nature is its mutability and freedom from instinct . . . it is always within our power to change our nature. So it is actually the idealists who are on the mark and the realists who are off base.
M. Scott Peck
Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience -- to appreciate the fact that life is complex.
M. Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck
If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything.
M. Scott Peck
The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning.
M. Scott Peck
God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution.
M. Scott Peck
With total discipline we can solve all problems.
M. Scott Peck
Good discipline requires time. When we have no time to give our children, or no time that we are willing to give, we don't even observe them closely enough to become aware of when their need for our disciplinary assistance is expressed subtley.
M. Scott Peck
Examination of the world without is never as personally painful as examination of the world within.
M. Scott Peck
If we deny our anger, our pain, our ambition, or our goodness, we will suffer.
M. Scott Peck
Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional.
M. Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck
