Image
If your goal is to avoid pain and escape suffering, I would not advise you to seek higher levels of consciousness or spiritual evolution.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity.
M. Scott Peck
Image
There is no virtue inherent in un-constructive suffering.
M. Scott Peck
Image
A life of total dedication to the truth also means a life of willingness to be personally challenged.
M. Scott Peck
Image
We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.
M. Scott Peck
Image
When we love someone our love becomes demonstrable or real only through our exertion - through the fact that for that someone (or for ourself) we take an extra step or walk an extra mile. Love is not effortless. To the contrary, love is effortful.
M. Scott Peck
Image
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

M. Scott Peck
Image
With total discipline we can solve all problems.
M. Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck
Image
It is not easy for us to change. But it is possible and it is our glory as human beings
M. Scott Peck
Image
One extends one's limits only by exceeding them.
M. Scott Peck
Image
The will to grow is, in essence, the same phenomenon as love. Genuinely loving people are, by definition, growing people.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Doubt is often the beginning of wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Going into the unknown is invariably frightening, but we learn what is significantly new only through adventures.
M. Scott Peck
Image
We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.
