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.

More quotes by M. Scott Peck
Going into the unknown is invariably frightening, but we learn what is significantly new only through adventures.
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
Falling in love is not an act of will. It is not a conscious choice. No matter how open to or eager for it we may be, the experience may still elude us. Contrarily, the experience may capture us at times when we are definitely not seeking it, when it is inconvenient and undesirable.
M. Scott Peck
When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary.
M. Scott Peck
Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.
M. Scott Peck
The time and the quality of the time that their parents devote to them indicate to children the degree to which they are valued by their parents. . . . When children know that they are valued, when they truly feel valued in the deepest parts of themselves, then they feel valuable. This knowledge is worth more than any gold.
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
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
If we deny our anger, our pain, our ambition, or our goodness, we will suffer.
M. Scott Peck
A life of total dedication to the truth also means a life of willingness to be personally challenged.
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
Self examination is the key to insight, which is the key to wisdom
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
Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom indeed, they create our courage and wisdom.
M. Scott Peck
If you wish to discern either the presence or absence of integrity, you need to ask only one question. What is missing? Has anything been left out?
M. Scott Peck
Mental health is an ongoing process of dedication to reality at all costs
M. Scott Peck
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
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
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
God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution.
M. Scott Peck
