More quotes by M. Scott Peck
When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary.
M. Scott Peck
But I already saw no great difference between the psyche and spirituality. To amass knowledge without becoming wise is not my idea of progress in therapy.
M. Scott Peck
Integrity is never painless.
M. Scott Peck
If we deny our anger, our pain, our ambition, or our goodness, we will suffer.
M. Scott Peck
Falling in love is not an extension of one's limits or boundaries it is a partial and temporary collapse of them.
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
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
Mental health is an ongoing process of dedication to reality at all costs
M. Scott Peck
Consciousness and Healing To proceed very far through the desert, you must be willing to meet existential suffering and work it through. In order to do this, the attitude toward pain has to change. This happens when we accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth.
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
If we seek to be loved - if we expect to be loved - this cannot be accomplished we will be dependent and grasping not genuinely loving.
M. Scott Peck
An unconscious, gentle process whereby people who want to be loving attempt to be so by telling little white lies, by withholding some of the truth about themselves and their feelings in order to avoid conflict. Pseudocommunity is conflict-avoiding true community is conflict-resolving.
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
If we want to be heard we must speak in a language the listener can understand and on a level at which the listener is capable of operating.
M. Scott Peck
The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.
M. Scott Peck
As Benjamin Franklin said, 'Those things that hurt, instruct.' It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.
M. Scott Peck
It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
M. Scott Peck
Delaying gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with. It is the only decent way to live.
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
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.
