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
Discipline, it has been suggested, is the means of human spiritual evolution. What provides the motive, the energy for discipline? This force I believe to be love. I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.
M. Scott Peck
Examination of the world without is never as personally painful as examination of the world within.
M. Scott Peck
