We cannot even let the other person into our hearts or minds unless we empty ourselves. We can truly listen to him or truly hear her only out of emptiness.

More quotes by M. Scott Peck
We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.
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
Examination of the world without is never as personally painful as examination of the world within.
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
Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?
M. Scott Peck
With total discipline we can solve all problems.
M. Scott Peck
The path to holiness lies through questioning everything.
M. Scott Peck
The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.
M. Scott Peck
I am dubious as to how far we can move toward global community-which is the only way to achieve international peace-until we learn the basic principles of community in our own individual lives and personal spheres of influence.
M. Scott Peck
The best decision-makers are those who are willing to suffer the most over their decisions but still retain their ability to be decisive.
M. Scott Peck
We cannot be a source for strength unless we nurture our own strength.
M. Scott Peck
Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems ... create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
Let me simply state that it is wrong to regard any other human being, a priori, as an object, or an 'It.' This is so because each and every human being - you, every friend, every stranger, every foreigner - is precious.
M. Scott Peck
All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up--that growing is an ever ongoing process.
M. Scott Peck
Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
M. Scott Peck
We are most often in the dark when we are the most certain, and the most enlightened when we are the most confused.
M. Scott Peck
In and through community lies the salvation of the world.
M. Scott Peck
Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.
M. Scott Peck
There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.
M. Scott Peck
A life of total dedication to the truth also means a life of willingness to be personally challenged.
M. Scott Peck
